Happy Tuesday everyone and I hope your had a great March 1st.
As we continue our march into March this is todays mantra:
Spring 17 days to go-
March 2 is the day and spring is getting closer on its way.
Spring 17 days the spring air soon to follow-
Even if the snow does fall we know-
Our flowers and plants will soon grow.
In a way March feeds our soul, we get that much more excited that warmer times are soon ahead. So much to look forward that spring shower, the growing seedlings. Excitement is growing and soon so will our gardens.
The rest of my gratitude comes in the form of a story. A true story of a lady who showed up at my work and passed along 2 little lunch bags randomly to 2 different employees. This story comes with pictures this story ends with smiles and a wow.
May you be inspired to pass along such a random act of kindness.
This is the bag just normal so simple.
She gave it without much explanation---->
This is the label a message so kind.
it read: A Rare Jewel...A Friend
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Friends are a very rare jewel indeed;
they make you smile and encourage you to succeed,
they lend an ear and share a word of praise,
they always open their hearts to us. ----->
Inside this little bag, a zip lock bag the size so small,
the message within and a toothpick, thats all.
