We recently informed the media about Rambunktious Productions' latest project "Flowers of Joy." This initiative invites volunteers and organizations to collaborate with RP; collect and deliver floral arrangements from events into the hands of hospital and hospice patients. After this past weekend's events we were left with some unclaimed Mums and were able to launch the project for the first time.
Since this was the first delivery, we wanted to do the handing-out ourselves. While Molly was busy with setting up for another function, I brought along Adley, my young assistant and together we made our way to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Skipping through the hallways with flowers in hand, we were able to bring some much needed smiles to people's faces. Not only was this experience utterly rewarding (Adley even managed to score some chocolates and teddy bears), it made us truly count our blessings and remember that each precious moment counts.
When we realized that four hands were not enough to give away all those flowers, we left the half full cart in the capable hands of the hospital's gracious volunteers, requesting that they give out the flowers to families and friends of those who were on their way to visit their loved ones. As Adley and I walked out through the sliding glass doors and into the Florida sunset, my heart was filled with warmth. It was a good day.
