It's beautiful at the moment as the cherry trees have blossomed heavily and now the rain and wind has bumped off the blossoms so they're all lying around like pink snow. It's gorgeous...apart from the rain and wind. When you drive down the street, the blossoms swirl up like a little pink snow storm. It makes me feel glad to be alive. Sometimes it's good to see the beauty that's all around you in one form or another and try not to get too bogged down in the negativity that surrounds us. Because sadly there can be lots of that too sometimes! Look for the smile from a stranger at the supermarket, the kind motorist who lets you in to the traffic when they could have easily kept going, the younger person who offers their seat to the pregnant lady or the elderly man on the bus and the children who appreciate the kindness of a shop keeper and show their appreciation with a polite and genuine "thank you".

Random Acts of Kindness Day
September 1st is Random Acts of Kindness day and whilst my students didn't think it was as cool as Talk like a Pirate day I tried to get them to think about their actions and the effect they have on others. I also explained that sometimes it is nice to do something kind to someone else, for the only reward being that you made someone else feel good. Hopefully they will remember this sometimes in their lives and will pay it forward and make the world a better place to be!!! This is an example of my heart work and if you want to see more visit me at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5544405
