Waking up from a long sleep - how should we be after Covid?

We are waking up from hibernation. A long winter has passed. We are emerging from our caves, blinking in the sunlight, taking our first tentative steps into summer - a different kind of summer. Covid has changed us. Lockdown has changed us. How should we be? What's different? Here are a few thoughts (please add others): Remember the lessons we learnt. Take your time. Don't rush. Don't return to the pre-Covid pace. Slow down. Travel less. Walk more. Be gentle with yourself and others. Spend time with those you love (not everybody). Linger longer. Don't assume everyone wants to be hugged - ask politely without judgement. Be sensitive to those who may have social anxiety. If you are worried speak to someone... Get a jab - for everyone's sake. Smile more. Really. Enjoy creation. Look up. Look around. Breath. Enjoy the breeze on your face. Talk to God; thank Him, ask Him. Winter has passed...
