The ‘stay at home’ experience during this pandemic has been interesting and challenging for everyone.
I would like to personally thank ‘all’ the health care workers and doctors for their dedicated service.
There are many others who also deserve kudos and thank you’s during this stressful experience.
In addition, the random acts of ‘kindness‘ that are not always reported are very ‘inspiring’ and restores ‘faith’ to the beauty of the human race.
Stay well.
