Gone was the frown and gone was the dragging resignation that the end of today was not likely to be much different than its beginning. Delicate hues, to be sure, but visible nonetheless. Now there was the hint of a spring in the step and a purpose in the stride. There was a hint of a gleam in the eye and a pinch of colour to the cheek. Tentative, I ll admit.
Hope is in the air.
Confidence may be about to break out all over. Because I think people are beginning to realize that we have been through the worst of the storm and that calmer although still windy times are ahead. When you look at hospital restructuring, for example, much has been accomplished. The hospitals with the singular exception of Montfort, which does not yet have a final resolution to its future have clear mandates and directions and they have been working diligently to put their respective houses in order. Some key administrative decisions have been taken and the organizations are now free to move forward.
