promise in winter

In the winter season, it can feel as if there is little life around.

But if you look carefully at the leafless trees, you can see next season's buds, ready and waiting. The orange tree in our garden is loaded with fruit at the moment, but it also has blossom, holding the hope of a future harvest.

And the same is true when we enter a winter season in life - there is always the promise of future life, if we only look carefully.

I wasn't really enjoying this page until I put the red on. Then it seemed to come alive, hence the journalling that I added.
