We must never loose that “little boy” inside of us. As we progress through life, we sometimes build a wall, a facade ; to protect ourselves, to represent our position, to demonstrate our capabilities or even to hide insecurities.
Perhaps in search for happiness , fullfillment ?

We will need to adapt, change and re-change many times to achieve a balance on what our new routines should be like.
Our past strengths could be our new weaknesses today. Be prepared to leave some of our “old me” behind. Create a NEW-ME …..a one that is stronger and compassionate as well as living a life of mutual respect and empathy.
After 2 months of closure, for many, the risk of falling sick is now overshadowed by the fear of hunger or not being able to provide food for their loved ones.
Like it or not the economy has to open up again.We must be brave to move forward whilst enforcing stringent rules to punish thosewrong-doers.
Let us all be responsible on our personal hygiene, social distancing rules and adapting to new behaviors. Easier said than done, but Open we MUST
