Day 213 - Counting costs

Today I was asked to send a quick report of what the impact of COVID-19 in South Africa has been. So I summed up what I had seen, and then started writing down some of the stories I know. 

Then I deleted them. I don't want to wallow in the sadness. I want to rather give thanks for the glimmers of light and shine hope wherever I can.

  • S made it out of her house last weekend for the first time - hooray!
  • J has found herself in a new class at school and I am so thrilled. She might not like her class mates but she loves her teacher and is flying!
  • B got retrenched from a job which was chewing him up and is now working with a mate. He's so much happier and motivated now.
  • I've had more time with my hubby as we are both working from home.
  • Kids start hockey tomorrow and can't wait.
  • All of our domestic helpers clients were able to continue paying her throughout lockdown.
Glimmers of light. Rainbows. May they spread.
