A Day of Reflection...
Today at 11am I joined millions of people across the UK and billions globally by observing a one minute silence out of respect for the key workers as well as friends who have paid the ultimate price during this crisis. It was also a time to reflect and remember worker's families and friends who are still grieving for their loved ones.
Whilst the sacrifice of workers around the world is recognised every year, 2020 has all the more and special significance because of the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic.
Many thousands of key workers are on the frontline as the rest of the country are in lockdown. It is humbling to think that the whole country and indeed many parts of the world took part to remember the sacrifices those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. I too lost a very dear friend who was fighting for their life until very recently. It is very difficult to come to terms with.
Many key workers care for those suffering from Covid-19 and are delivering vital services – potentially putting their own safety and even their own lives and families at risk. We must recognise and never ever forget this.
Every day I reflect on the risks faced by my colleagues and family friends working in the health and social care sectors as well as those working in other sectors and behind the scenes. I also think deeply about all those impacted by the lockdown on personal, emotional and financial levels. All these people must never be forgotten and is the reason why we must foster an attitude of gratitude, not just today but for everyday.
I remain optimistic for a positive outcome to these difficult and challenging times... we will get through this crisis together.
Stay strong, stay safe, stay blessed!
With love and best wishes
