Spring

And how we all need it

After the winter we have just had wherever you are and I am not just talking about the weather

Green shoots, fresh leaves, warmer air, moving outdoors

Flowers in their bright fresh colours, colours we have missed during the grey winter

Women welcoming lighter clothes, men out of work wondering what next

Yes a different spring for many

Time to approach life for it's simple pleasures

A coffee sat outdoors

A glass of wine on a terrace

A walk in the park

Plan something for this spring, anything for a change something simple maybe

Smile for spring is almost upon us, the period we are in is a tough one and this has the upside that we can grow faster than in other periods where change and the pace of change are slower

In your day to day life notice those around you

How many are smiling?

Not enough in most cities

Time to send your smile around your city and see how long it takes to come back again

It's always a surprise and pleasure when the smile comes back again

Spring is really a time of renewal and new beginnings

Smiling for the longer days ahead, smiling for the pleasures in store

And today of all days April fools day what are you doing?

Smile and they will wonder what's happened

.

April fool of course there is nothing to smile about everyone knows that life is a serious business

.

Oh so serious

.

April fool

.

It is only we who make it so serious

.

Life and nature are what they are, no more, no less

.

Smile and pass this smile on to those you know, even those you do not

.

April fool indeed
