Picture and Words – Spring Will Come

Hello Everyone, if we relax and close our eyes, are we feeling spring about to appear?  We received this picture and words from Lucia Rosin founder of MEIDEA s.r.l.

“Spring will come. A year has passed; the feeling of hope has reassured us through many ups and downs. Spring will come, bringing a new wind; all the sadness, loneliness and uncertainty we have experienced will be swept away, rekindling our passions, enthusiasm and the desire to move forward. We are shedding skin, we are resilient. What comes will be the fruit of our work and it will make our dreams become reality.”
