Handicapped Seal in Orlando, Florida vs. Non-Handicapped Seal

The handicapped seal was having a hard time catching the fish and the birds would fly over and get the ones it kept dropping. It had a jaw problem and the scars and places it was sewn up were evident as well as a torn ear. We wondered if this seal was going to starve to death because he kept dropping his fish!

Finally, after about 15 minutes, it was really 10 minutes but it felt longer, he caught a fish and we felt ok about leaving him. I think he needs some IV.

In human life it is like that also, if no one is paying attention to yu if you are not getting your fair share, God help you. That is why we all need support from eachother.

Look how cute the seals are and then there is the birds getting their easy meal-and they say animals don't think!

Hi Monica. Thanks for this. None of us is perfect, and we all need help from others. Sometimes the greatest souls choose the most difficult lives.

I read an entry from an agent who does a Radio Show and loved it so I'll share it with his Web Reference: http://MikesRealEstateShow.com It's called 45 Lessons: ENJOY! 1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone. 8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck. 10. Love your parents because they will be gone before you know it. 11.
