Some stories to make you go 'aaahhhh.'

The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca was diving in the sea near Syracuse while talking to his daughter Rossana, who was on the boat. Just as he was about to dive, he felt a light tap on his back. When he turned, he saw a dolphin. He soon realized the dolphin wasn’t playing but trying to show him something. The dolphin dove, and Enzo followed.

At about 12 meters deep, they found another dolphin trapped in an old fishing net. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to bring the diving knives. Together, they managed to free the dolphin. When it was finally free, it let out a sound that Enzo described as “almost human.” (A dolphin can hold its breath underwater for about 10 minutes, or it could drown.)

Enzo, Rossana, and the other dolphin helped the freed dolphin reach the surface. That’s when they saw the surprise: she was pregnant!

The male dolphin swam around them and then stopped in front of Enzo. He touched Enzo’s cheek, almost like a kiss, to show thanks, and then both dolphins swam away.

Enzo Maiorca ended by saying, “Until humans learn to respect and communicate with animals, we can never truly understand our role on Earth.'

A man was asked to paint a boat. He brought paint and brushes and began painting the boat a bright red, as the owner had requested.

While painting, he noticed a small hole in the hull and quietly repaired it.

When he finished painting, he received the money and left.

The next day, the boat owner went to the painter and handed him a handsome check, much larger than the fee for the painting.

The painter was surprised and said, "You have already paid me to paint the boat, sir!"

“But this isn't for the paint job. It's to fix the hole in the boat.

“Ah! But it was such a small service… it’s certainly not worth paying me so much for such an insignificant thing.”

“My dear friend, you don't understand. Let me tell you what happened: When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole. When the boat was dry, my sons took the boat and went fishing. They didn't know there was a hole. I wasn't home at the time. When I came back and saw that they had taken the boat I was desperate because I remembered that the boat had a hole. Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them return from fishing. Then I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole! See, now, what have you done? You saved my children's lives! I don't have enough money to pay for your 'little' good deed.”

So no matter who, when, or how, continue to help, support, dry tears, listen attentively, and carefully repair any "leaks" you find. You never know when someone needs us, or when God has a pleasant surprise in store for us by being useful and important to someone.

Along the way, you may have fixed numerous "potholes" for several people without realizing how many lives you've saved. ❤️

Make a difference....be the best you can be…

PLEASE, THINK CAREFULLY before adopting a puppy.

Here’s what happens when you leave your dog at a shelter.

This is what happened to a dog who had lived in a calm home, with a bed of its own, with a family.

This is diarrhea caused by stress and anxiety.

Have you ever been so anxious that your stomach started hurting?

For a dog that has been surrendered, that feeling lasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“Where is my family?”“Why am I in a cage?”

“Why are all these dogs barking at me?”

Imagine being taken from your comfortable life one day and thrown into a prison for no reason, never to see your family again.

( This is happening to foreigners in the USA under ICE.)

Pets are a lifelong commitment.

Don’t get an animal if you can’t care for it financially, emotionally, or physically.

There is no such thing as a perfect dog or perfect cat.

They’re expensive, and they require a lot of work.

An animal’s loyalty is unmatched.

They would never do this to you — So don’t do it to them.

Here are Hamilton Hall we have had hundreds of ' aaahhhh' moments over the years. From older customers letting us know that they will not be able to attend again as the journey is just too much for them now they are older - to letters received after someone has died informing us how important we were to them - To guys admitting their first ' out moment' amongst other gay men was here at Hamilton Hall - Guys telling me how after years of being alone they met someone at Hammy Hall and had been for some years happily together - Reminders of all the relationships that have met and blossomed here - The many people we have helped along the way with being a place to go - to hide - to recover - to relax - to rekindle - to re shape and to re invent themselves in a safe and non judgemental space - To be able to dress how they please - Go naked if they please - To have sex and intimay for a first time with a man and to relax in their own skin amongst others who understood.

You see, Hamilton Hall is not just a bed and breakfast with dinner optional - It is not just a retreat away from the world;- It is a place where your mind, body and soul can take a few days off, take a break, get away from committments - work and family - and just be yorself. No phones, No screamig kids or wife - no harrassment at work - no annoying phone calls from illegal sources and no need to do or say anything at all but just relax and be yourself.

Personally, I wish I could find a venue like Hamilton Hall to escape to now and then as the stresses of every day life, runninga business, and even dealing with every day occurances, sometimes makes me a little crazy and I also could do wth a weekend Chill Out or a De Stressing weekend.

I went for Therapy a few times a few years ago. Being a counsellor / therapist myself - I was far too strong for the therapist and far to knowledgeable and - even she asked if I felt she was helping as she felt I was too strong for her and the ' aaahhhhh ' moment came when she said she didn't think there was anything she could do for me and my 'aaahhh' moment came when I realised she was right.

You make, and take, from the news that which you wish to see and hear. You observe what you want and comment of things that affect you personally. If you don't like something, do not read it and move on but do not shy away from what IS going on in the world of which - you are a part. World news is so easy to find these days and differing opinions not hard to find. Having an opinion is vital and being a ' don't care' person helps no one. So open your mind - open your heart - open your awareness and ALWAYS be open to new ideas.
