A brighter reflection

Here is a lighter side to March

Has isolation brought us closer together?

Not sure about you but I have made a more conscious effort to check in on people via messages, emails or video conference. Even though I am the last person normally to initiate conversations. I have had contact with people I have not seen in over 10 years, not caught up with since they moved away or had a family.
This could be driven by the fact we now know we are not going to see someone in several weeks it forces us to make time to contact them rather than assuming we might run into each other at some point. (Although I never actually run into anyone spontaneously normally)

It has given people time, a very precious commodity, and reminded them of what they should truly value.

Other benefits to come out of being in one place – I have found lots of local farm shops and businesses which can still sustain a supply of food as it is coming from a few miles away and able to supply the local communities with food. Reducing food miles, waste packaging and hopefully food waste. As people are now taking more care about what they purchase.

I even found an egg vending machine which solves the issue of getting food and human contact all in one.

I am not for a minute ignoring what is going on in the world and the sacrifices people are making right now to help others.

I am simply trying to shine a tiny candle of light on what is a dark time.
