[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 759880, member: 24721"] I'm glad you are feeling a little better, Copa. It's sad that you have not heard from your son, but in many ways this is probably for the best right now. I too have filled my need for excitement through work and travel and have had to change my outlook somewhat since the beginning of the pandemic. We are doing okay here in Australia now. My state went through months and months of lockdown and it was really depressing (necessary in my opinion, but hard nonetheless). The wonderful thing to come out of that lockdown was that we were all forced to slow down for a time and find ways to enrich out lives that were more introspective than previously. The other big bonus has been learning to appreciate the things we have. Just this weekend my husband and I have been away in our capital city to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We stayed in a lovely hotel and had a nice dinner and then breakfast in the hotel this morning. We haven't been able to do anything like that for almost 12 months so we really savoured the experience. We are very lucky that there are almost no cases in Australia at the moment. None in the community but a few in quarantine - all people entering Australia from overseas are quarantined in special quarantine centres or quarantine hotels for 14 days after arrival. So, with no cases outside quarantine, things are starting to go back to normal here. Even so, I hope we don't forget the lessons learned in this unusual time we've all been through. [/QUOTE]
