THE ONE THING

We are all experiencing lockdown`s effects to some degree or other. My loss of normal day to day family contact has been the worst thing for me. Considering the tragedies that many, many families across the globe have suffered and are still suffering I have absolutely nothing to complain about. The other day- a gloriously warm day it was at that- I sat outside with my coffee and noticed just how peaceful everything around me seemed. No traffic noise. Barely any noise in fact.
No clamour. In the space of an hour or so only about four or five people passed by. All out for a quiet stroll. Total peace
As a Glaswegian born and bred I realised that perhaps those of us in relatively good health could perhaps all just try to focus more on that aspect of being alone.
It ain`t always all that bad
