Plant Seeds of Kindness

Summer brings with it the sounds and scents of nature brimming with life. For me this includes tending the plants that grew from the seeds I planted in the Spring. I love watching the various blooms from gardens tended by loving hands as well as those that sprout wild and free in nature.

I enjoy daily walks through the many trails that meander across my neighborhood and often use that time to simply enjoy my surroundings and let my mind wander as I soak in my surroundings.

Watching the flowers shine in all their glory brings to mind “planting seeds” and from there the thought expands to “seeds of kindness” and then inspirational quotes – you got it.

Not only in the Spring but all year round.... plant seeds of kindness. ... watch them grow and in doing so expand your bounty of love and happiness.

Sharing with you my favorite inspirational quotes about kindness.
