 Here's to the buds . . . Taking a walk this past week was as much mental therapy as it was exercise. And then I looked up and saw them. Buds, that is. They were everywhere -- the vibrant purple of redbud trees caught my attention first. Then the soft new green of tender leaves came into focus along with a whiff of new cut grass. I couldn't help but smile, and suddenly the world seemed like a gentler place. New, fresh and popping out to remind me of the resilience of nature. It got me to thinking - isn't this just like our business life? We can focus on the remnants of winter or we can look up and see new growth. It just requires a bit of faith and focus in the right direction. So take a walk and see what ideas are pop up! Carloyn Mayo, APR
