I went outside before the world was awake to take a walk. The streets were quiet, quieter than they usually are. There were no cars passing by with people going to work. No one was rushing to meet any clock. The pandemic seemed to silence even the trees around me. I could hear only my footsteps on the cement. The birds were out and in the silence I heard them sing, singing as if to tell me that despite our lockdown the earth was experiencing a steady peace within it. I took the long route with a hill, a hill I jogged and walked when I needed to find an extra reserve of strength. We all have something we do when we need energy and positivity. It is important to lean on these things to build our optimism through COVID-19. This was what I learned from my morning walk. I realized that we need to stay hopeful and the more we are the more positive reaches others who may need it.
Stay strong and positive- we can do this.
