As we start the transition back to 'normality', I find myself torn.
On the one hand, I want to have freedom of movement, be able to see my friends and family when I like and to eat a lovely meal where I had no part in the preparation. To travel. To drive up to the mountains and take in the view. There were days when I was incredibly lonely, where a video meeting with colleagues has been my only link to the outside world.
On the other hand, I have had a freedom I haven't had for many years, if ever. I have created a wonderful, warm nest, where I am busy and productive at work, but have time to cook nutritious or decadent meals, time to sleep, time to walk and to read.....time to appreciate the little things. I don't want this to go away.
Overwhelmingly, I feel grateful to have my health and to be employed, but I will miss lockdown.
