Today’s Proverb

On the train coming to work I heard someone on the radio say, ‘February is nicknamed plum month and March cherry month in old Japanese.’ 
 
Beautiful! 
 
When I got to my office and sat at my desk, I noticed a small desk calendar. 
It said, "Hope gives courage. Hope strengthens the will." 
 
Yes, we should remember to keep 'hope' for the road ahead. 
The power of words is a real thing. 
 
The hardest month of the year has begun.
