HOLD ON. IT WILL GET BETTER.

Whilst our world is currently butt silently desolately battling covid it can be hard to feel good.

But we must try to find a reason to smile. I live in Melbourne and we have definitely had our fair share of lockdown throughout this pandemic. It is very wearing and when I find myself feeling frustrated or fatigued with lockdown I always now try to think of myself as Lucky because there are very many people in worse circumstances than myself

I am not totally alone or isolated and I cheer myself up by sending positive messages to my loved one’s. My friends appreciate this and many have commented that I have beena ray of sunshine when lockdown has been bleak. I have a wonderful friend whom is battling cancer throughout this pandemic and she manages to be positive and generous of spirit if she can manage that then I can be a force for positivity.

I have long worked in welfare and know my life purpose is about spreading empathy, compassion and grace. Whenever I face my demons I now try to fight them, by generating goodwill. I genuinely believe in karma and believe that goodwill generates goodwill. Instead of bitching that we are in a long drawn out pandemic and blaming our leaders for the decisions they have made, we must try to find it in ourselves to be kind to our loved ones and share a little love and compassion. Yes we are struggling, but things will get better. And who knows maybe in time, we will look back at this moment in time of one where the people learned to share what we have, that this pandemic could be the end of selfishness and greed. If we learn to share and love our neighbour we also learn self love and self care.

This is what I hope will happen. I have faith that it will…..
