The last few weeks have reminded me of my childhood…..long days that seem to stretch on forever, nowhere to be and time to allow my imagination to run free.

My childhood life centred around my neighbourhood, local school, the friends in my street and my family. Simple yet sweet.

Since that time, it seems as though the world has continually expanded like blowing up a balloon. Our connections, opportunities and choices have just got larger and larger and larger. Until now when the balloon has popped.

Now, our day to day world is small again.

I have beautiful posts and stories of friends meeting neighbours who they’ve never spoken to before, friends walking to their corner shop which they’ve never done before, families pitching a tent in their backyard with their kids for the long weekend and friends working in their gardens and taking photographs of the beautiful flowers blooming. Simple yet sweet.

During this time, you can choose your mindset. You can either choose to feel restricted and confined and feel like you have less. Or you can choose to feel freedom and abundance and feel like you have more.

The interesting thing will be when all of this is over, what will happen? Will we just pick up that balloon and start blowing again; wanting more and more and more. Or will we choose differently and remember simple yet sweet?
