I’ve never in my life felt more privileged to wake up in the morning. Weeks of lockdown have made me so much more appreciative of small things.
Hearing that 27,000 people have been lost, and so many more are suffering, make me grateful to be here. Being poorly in bed for the last week made me doubly so.
When you can’t do anything but lie in bed, your thoughts wander. I lay there thinking I didn’t want to die on my own at night.
So when I woke in the morning and could see the sky, it was a wonderful feeling. These are things we sometimes take for granted.
