Last week I was chatting with one of my clients, who was saying about how she was really looking forward to September when her youngest child starts full-time school so that she can get a job again. I said something along the lines of "not long to go" and she disagreed, saying she felt like this time of "limbo" was never going to end. It got me thinking about how, in the past week or so when driving to work, I've seen blossom starting to appear on some of the trees, and the bulbs are now poking out of the ground and starting to flower. Those things always gives me such hope - winter is coming to an end, spring is on its way (not that you'd notice at the moment though after this evening's snow!). There's something about the inevitability of it all that I find so so reassuring - it's not going to be cold forever (who knows, we may even get a fortnight of summer like we did last year!), warmer longer days are coming, and so is the future, whatever that may hold. This place I'm in at the moment won't last - moving on is inevitable. The process might need a bit of a nudge of help every now and again, but I'm so thankful that I'm not stuck here forever, whether that be the geographical "here" or the personal "here".
