I stumbled across a “Happiness Garden” while away this past weekend, a garden of rocks many painted with words of positivity. The garden was created by the local Rotary Club, offering an invitation to relax and enjoy. It certainly made my day and brought a smile to my face.
What a wonderful project and so
needed these days. Creating such a garden, even just a small one, is a great endeavour
for students, seniors, community and other groups, With a minimal amount of
work and cost and a healthy dose of creativity, this kind of project connects
people, promotes positivity, offers beautification and improved sense of place.
Skill building, community enhancement, and healing are other benefits we see
through such projects.
I saw many painted rocks around
mail boxes during our Covid-19 lockdowns, offering up a daily smile. Thank you
to all who take on these initiatives, bringing a bit of happiness to our daily
lives.
