It is the beginning of May. May Day brings back fond memories for me. When I was younger, my brother and I would make baskets from sticky weeds on our property to hold flowers. We would pick some flowers to fill them and artfully arrange them in the basket. Then we would take our creations over to our Grandma's house. We would always try to sneak up the driveway and steps but I'm sure she heard us everytime. We would carefully place our flower filled baskets by her door, ring the bell and then hide outside and wait for her to open the door and see our beautiful work. She would always be full of praise about our baskets and flowers.
It's amazing how much joy can come from such a simple act.
When was the last time you did something just to bring joy to another?
