I’ve been tired today, I guess it is the culmination of a lot of energy this week being taken out of me as mum, friend and worker. I’ve heard a lot of conversations about the days being long for some, and so busy for others, and it has got me thinking…

When we look back on this period in our lives collectively we will all know the impact it has had on our daily experience, but for each one of us the reality will be so different !

If like me you are working from home with kids around, life will fall into a gentle routine, somewhat different but there will be a liberation from the normal routines, and it will at times be stressful… but it will be safe in your home..

Today I spoke with a few friends heading back into hospital tomorrow and they are scared…they know they are about to enter a phase in their work life which will impact profoundly on them, and their families…they are already aware of it as their work colleagues, their friends are experiencing awfulness.

My NHS friends are not scared to do their job, they are scared at not being protected…this made me think…when we feel protected emotionally and physically there is a safety, a support, and a sense of being held…

I was able to hand over a few face masks today and a few plastic gloves, that is all I can give practically, but physically I can protect my NHS friends and my family by following the guidelines.

Let’s all do what we can and stay home as much as possible xox
