Ahhh Corona! You aren't all that bad!

Why am I feeling a bit 'strange' as I listen to government and experts tell us about 'our pathway back?' Pathway back.... 'to what'?

More noise; more pollution, more cars, more rudeness, more road-rage and bad tempered drivers, more visits to the service station to fill up, more fuel price increases, less caring about our neighbours, less quiet lunches; less time with our families because we are 'busy' again, and more buying of stuff we don't even need, and less walks around our immediate neighbourhood, and including all smilies and saying hello to people we don't even know.

Covid-19 has been a terrible event, but the Universe has also provided us with a chance to stop; reflect and consider where we have just come from and the terrible price we were paying for our 'everything' world?

I am not sure I want to give-up my nightly 'Messenger' video story with granddaughter, Ember, and the goodnight song called "Daisey, Daisey" or "Goodnight Irene"; special moments that demanded I gave up the nightly news on TV about how bad things are in the World.

Covid has caused much anguish and financial stress, but we have ended up with a kinder, gentler, quieter and more environmentally respectful World, and for that we should be thankful.
