Don't forget to celebrate the small things

Current challenges at work mean that the minute anyone is back at their desk, any holiday benefits are almost immediately forgotten.  Factor in bad weather, dark nights and some sad news from a couple of friends and mid-November has suddenly felt very gloomy. So, it was a much appreciated moment yesterday, when, as I was wheeling my bike out of the shed, I was tapped on the helmet by a rose in bloom. Just taking a moment to stop and admire the fragile flower that had withstood all the recent storms was a timely reminder to celebrate the small things.
