As I drove into London today, the sun was shining, even though it was pretty chilly and we had frost this morning.  I was literally thrilled to see my first trees in blossom, huge white clouds of blossom… I really felt it was a gift.  In many ways this is my favourite seasonal change, and the Japanese in my soul exults when it sees the trees bloom.  They tell us winter is over, that warmer weather in on the way.  In the past it would have meant that there was fresh food on the table after the limited winter fare.  I think we all need a sign things are getting better from time-to-time, and certainly, economically we could do with this now, and on a more personal note, I know we could!

Signs of hope help us on difficult journeys and remind us what we were working towards and it is important in change programs to ensure people can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
