Be Grateful and Give Back

Today I was asked to blog about how I see things in the City of Waltham, Massachusetts. 
Of course, I said yes.  What a great honor and a great chance - all things small and tall can shine here.

On this gorgeous real spring day - I am borrowing from my neighbor who said "be more grateful for what you have." There are many organizations in Waltham who need time, stuff, or money.  In this time of spring renewal - clean out your junk and donate it, give some time to a local charity, or go out to eat on a night that benefits a non-profit (I love when these fall on my night to eat!)  This weekend alone you can:
