I was on my way to a meeting, stepping out and enjoying the walk in the fresh spring air. It was a wonderful clear day, and after what has seemed like a dull winter, it was lovely to have the sun shining so brightly. I am not normally too fretful if it is not always dry and sunny – I do spend a lot of time outdoors, so it is a fact that I will experience a variety of changeable weather here in England. Providing I am suitably dressed, I can just get on with it.<\/p>\n
The change from the dull days to this wonderful bright one was very marked. It seems as if mother nature had been waiting for a sunny day too, and was going to make an early Spring show, all of its own.<\/p>\n
I was passing a park when I noticed this splendid blossom, the whole tree was providing a wonderful showcase. I just stopped and enjoy looking at this well established and large tree, that had clearly been there for many a long year. It had seemingly chosen this day to burst forth and visibly welcome the change in the weather. It certainly put a smile on my face and lifted my spirits still further. Too often I know I am in a rush to get from A to B, and do not always notice what is before my very eyes.<\/p>\n
As I was early for my meeting, it was a pleasure just to take a few minutes and look at what nature was doing to make our daily lives so much more colourful. It also made me think of a few ideas as I continued on my way, with a renewed spring in my step:<\/p>\n
And some specific thoughts about our own world:<\/p>\n
If you have not been developing, or freshening up anything, is now a good time to take a tip from nature and see what you could bring out in bloom?<\/p>\n
The year is just starting, you have time to make sure that this seasonal change brings some changes for you too.<\/p>\n
My best wishes,<\/p>\n
