In these troubling days, where people are concerned about job losses, faltering balance sheets if in retail, and an approximate 30% drop in tourist incomes, in many resort based areas, it's easy to pull in and to forget those truly in need.
Try to remember the food bank, the Copper Kettle, the Salvation Army, the SPCA, and all of the other very worthwhile ways to create goodness for those in need.
We may not be able to give as much as in previous times, but tiny amounts have a way of adding up.
The Arts, too, whether music, symphony & opera companies, painting/galleries, local guild showscasing...our cultureal heritage is what feeds our soul.
Volunteering is another way to offer a caring spirit to your particular part of the world. So many good things we could be doing for others, right now, and the return to ourselves is immeasureable. It's a gift of time, when one volunteers, and a way to "pay back' those who helped us on our paths.
In giving, we also receive. It's a two way street!
