Well as you can see here I am ready for the showers of April. And yes it is indeed the eve of April and here in Toronto Canada it is pouring. Of course it is.

About this time every year I think about what I can do to create a better life to those who happen to be in my circle of influence. Perhaps it has something to do with new beginnings; spring and all, but I like to plant some warm thought to those who happen to be at the receiving end.

We can all complain of the injustices of the world, but how many of us are actually doing something to clean it up? Talk, only messes things up, actions, well that is something we can do together. Since we are in spring, let's do some planting. YOU will be so surprised at what will transpire by the fall.

One of the first things I do in the spring is gather up all of my magazines and reading materials that kept me amused all winter and I take these to a couple senior buildings. They are always so excited as their limited incomes do not allow them these little luxuries. I am always surprised at how many thank you notes come from this one little act of kindness. Next on my list is I gather up clothes that I know I am not going to wear, more like not fit into next year and gather these for some shelters. What good are they doing me anyway? We all have heard what is one person's junk is another's treasure. Well in this case, magazines and clothes hardly fall into the junk area, but boy are they considered treasures to those at the receiving end.

See where I am going here? Plant some seeds and the reward is what blossoms from such an act. What are you doing in your corner of the world that will have brighten someone else's life?
What seeds will you be planting this spring?

'Cause we all matter
