Already 2 days past the end of the week but it’s been quiet. Fjord turned 14 last week, he had a good day. We gave him a harmonica which he is already getting the hang of. My eldest son Heath visited Jo’burg and it was lovely to spend yesterday and part of Saturday with him.
In this weeks Rona diary, I still have not heard of any new cases. Found out that a friend who is diabetic fell ill about 3 weeks ago, she has been recovering slowly at home. I’m very worried about J, I thought that she was getting better but now she is on a ventilator. A man who did welding on our fence a few months ago had difficulty using his arms and hands for a few weeks after first C19 injection, last week he went for 2nd dose and for several days after found it almost impossible to swallow even drinking water was hard.
Most of my life while not being unhappy with who I am, I have felt like a misfit. More and more I realise that this is how most teens and more adults than we imagine feel. We never know what’s going on beyond the surface and compassion can make such a difference to those around us. This song still resonates with me
