Today I was invited to join a friend for a coffee and a catch up. He's heavily involved in the construction industry and was telling me about the challenges facing his company and others across the country and beyond.
Despite the downturn and its associate difficulties he was very upbeat as we reminisced about our various collaborations. It soon became clear that although our professional paths had diverged for a spell he was keen to resume our business links and develop new projects. While the contractual work had slowed down there were clear opportunities to utilise staff and resources for the benefit of local schools.
By the time we said our goodbyes all sorts of exciting plans were in the pipeline. 2009 may well be a very productive and significant year for all concerned - for all the right reasons.
It just goes to show that there's a silver lining in every cloud.
