April is almost over and spring is here. The buds are making their first appearance on the trees and the flowers in the garden are breaking through the ground to meet the sun. The smell of barbque fills the air of my little neighborhood. It's time to take down all the curtains for their spring cleaning.
Not everyone sees the beauty in the changing seasons. Some have so much worry about the things that most of us take for granted. This year when we are all shaping up our dwellings and making Martha Stewart proud with our skills, try to keep the less fortunate in mind. Perhaps we can down size and donate some of our luxuries. The Salvation Army is always open to donations and volunteers. In whatever way works best for you, try to give a little back this season. Just because Christmas is a long way away it doesn't mean all those needy people are any better off than they were. Giving is essential all year.
Keep in mind that anything can happen. Just because we are all comfortable today doesn't mean we won't be 80 and eating cat food in the future. Always put yourself in the shoes of others. (ok enough preaching for today) :)
