What is unsurprising is that in time of crisis, it really brings out the good & bad of humans. Who would have thought, that it had to come to this for everyone to build a community, for us to appreciate the NHS & for us to connect with our family on a daily basis? What has touched the nations heart, is the camaraderie, the humanity & the humble nature of some of the people putting themselves on the frontline for others. A sudden appreciation for all of the simple things in life & indeed the most important.
Sure, money makes the world go round, and of course, nobody wants to struggle without, but do we all need these flashy cars, all inclusive beach holidays & material stuff. ALL OF THE TIME?
For me, i’ve always loved the sights & sounds around me, away from the hustle & bustle of life, & nature has always given me an inner peace I can’t get from daily life. It’s been utterly enchanting, hearing the natural world come alive! Spring in full force on our walks. Space to walk freely without cars zooming by & people pushing you around on the street.
Whilst, like you all, I miss my family & friends dearly, I am one of the ones who is doing my very best to play my part and stay indoors. We are lucky that we have a garden, and whilst I am so very conscious of how lucky we are, I do still see so many others out & socialisng with friends. It is hard. It’s hard for us all, but I really hope that everyone is learning from this experience. To take nothing for granted.
I’ve missed birthdays, hugs & simply human contact, but I want the chance to see those that I care about after this. I want in someway to make what others have done matter. We are all so aware of those who have put their lives at risk, those who have sadly lost their battle & those fighting everyday. It’s what they & their families deserve!
If anyone needs reassurance that one person can make a difference, this gentleman is one heck of an inspiration. I can’t imaigine how proud his family are. He is just so incredible & his journey has been inspirational to all. I adore his attitude to life & his efforts.
