Wooden Dolphin

February 13

A handsome hand-carved wooden dolphin sits on my desk at home. I purchased this beauty on a beach in Antigua. The young man selling it asked $15.We haggled. I bought it for $6. I won! I thought.

Now I know differently. What was a game to me was his livelihood. That Dolphin reminds me of my arrogance that day. I am so blessed. I continue to seek ways to pay for that Dolphin by giving to the less fortunate. I am happy to be making the payments. I need to give more.
