I have been quite fortunate, but Covid-19 is
undeniably terrible and this year has been devastating for some with loss
of loved ones and income. Apparently our fight and flight response means
we dwell on the negative rather than the positive and five pieces of good
news are needed to balance one negative. I appreciate this is little
compensation for some, but my positive outcomes of Covid-19, which may
apply to you also are: - we got to spend more time
at home with our family
- we didn’t have to commute
on overcrowded trains/tubes
- we forgot about Brexit
for a little while
- we had more time for
hobbies and being creative – I drafted a book and Maggie has resumed
playing violin after many years
- we supported local cafes
and businesses
- we diversified,
discovered new skills and offered new services
- we have, on the whole,
been productive working from home
- we learned to use virtual
platforms, better connecting us to family, friends and colleagues
around the globe
- there was reduced
pollution from traffic and manufacturing
- there will continue to be
better work-life balance going forward with working in and out of
the office
I wish you Merry Christmas and a much
better and prosperous New Year.As usual I am sending out an e-card rather than posting one. In
lieu I have donated blankets for babies and children’s Christmas gift boxes to
UNICEF. (Click on the image or here for an animated musical version.)
Best wishes
