Springtime 

"Spring is Nature's way of saying 'Let's Party!'" - Robin Williams

As you encounter springtime this year, we hope you are filled with excitement in the newness of this season.  As you witness the miracle of life in nature around you, realize that you can contribute to that wellspring. Work to plant not only real seeds, but also seeds of love and kindness wherever you go.  Growth is only possible if work is put in ahead of time, but joy can be found in that work.
