I moved house and job during the pandemic. I have to go out to work as I am a home help and I have built up the most amazing relationships with my clients as for a long time I was the only person they had in their house and vice versa. I do now have some newer clients who are more distant, but generally I feel tons better about fitting in round here, (it’s very posh) and most peeps have been so kind. Never thought I’d stay here, just goes to show that we shouldn’t judge or believe what we hear, well not all the time. 😁0

In the start of lockdown I was suffering with anxiety of some issues , like Health Financial issues and Companies loss regarding COVID-19.As time pass I come to know that Life is in the hands of God, The best I can do is precaution. Then I start to safe my self through heavy foods energy drinks as your immune system should be so strong to fight against any disease. Then I receive an email about our company that onward we will work remotely. That's a great news for me. Then I start to manage my time through all the day. It was a tough time to manage my job with your family. Then day by day my life was going to be change. I found a lot of time to spend with my family. I started to enhance my knowledge related to my job. And then it was the time to change my position in company. I learned a lot. You cant believe I became the manager of my company. Its really worthful. I found a lot love from my family. It was looking as I'm not in this world. Then I started charity. To help those people who have nothing to eat. I learned many things ,it was looking as time has stop I was also fed up of his rushing routine, no time think about what I am doing what is my destination what is my life. I found a worthful time to understand my sweet family. Its worthful!-1

I have discovered how much I genuinely enjoyed teaching my child. Even though I have health issues, so I couldn't do everything with them it was so much fun learning things that they were learning at school.1

Sea swiming - waterfall swiming - cold cold water swimming its changed my life - nothing like a mental high, discovered this at the start of lockdown, growth is achieved outside of your comfort zone.

Who my friends really are. Now that was an eye opener, not necessarily during lockdown but in the opening up.I moved just before this and it was supposed to be temporary as it's an area of much older people. I found some of them were the ones that were good friends, who will not intrude but be there if you need them.I feel ashamed that I ever thought otherwise. My friends were so busy looking after themselves but the older folks just got on with anything that was thrown at them.The kindness of strangers.I agree with the open water swimming but not in winter brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on
The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
