The one thing I love about the coming spring is the excitement over the flowers. There seems to be a rejuvenating power that tulips, Lily's (not my favorite flower at all) and daffodil's have.
March is the time you start to see the Daffodil's start appearing. For us in Minnesota this doesn't mean outside, but in our offices and malls. It's Daffodil Days!
Daffodil Days is a fund raising event for the American Cancer Society. For your donation you get a bunch of daffodils and a vase, but what you give is much more important, as the money raised gives hope - hope to cancer survivors and patients.
Hope - now isn't that what spring is all about? Hope for better days ahead, hope for miracles, hope for caring, hope for compassion. Spring is the time when the rains wash away all the 'ugly' from the earth and provides hope.
As you start your day today, hope for something big. Hope that something wonderful happens to you, your family, or a complete stranger. Hope is a driving force that can move mountains if you believe that there is a better tomorrow.
Happy Daffodil Days!
