The coronavirus has changed everything for everybody. I was never offered a service employment opportunity before now, yet I miss taking risks at my own expense without discussing the matter with everybody else. How do you guys hope to move forward from the coronavirus outbreak?

well I will do things that will help me in the future for my job that I want to do when I grow up

The future has got to be better surely. We will be more free to do the things that we like. To meet up in a group if we wish........here'shoping for a better future for us all

Are you intent on doing anything to bring a better future?

I think hopeandoptimism's reply is fantastic and so true. We do take the smaller things in life for granted. I hope to be able to join clubs where I can actually meet people (Am I the only one who is not keen on video calls?) chat more, be more sociable....nothing much just to get out and meet people.

Hi Venus, While this has been a hard time for so many, we should never lose hope. Like everything else that has gone before us, this too shall pass. I learned a long time ago that we can't control things, but we can choose how we respond to it. The only thing we get to choose is our attitude! We should look forward to a future, while different, has new possibilities. The pandemic should teach us what really matters in life....and that is love, faith, family, friends who stand by us, and simple pleasures....like a rainfall, the moon, a good book, a good meal, a good movie. We have learned to appreciate what we may have taken for granted. An education is a privilege and for many, that has been severely compromised. We didn't always remember what a blessing an education is. I hope that we can be kinder and more compassionate. I look forward to the days ahead determined to do my part to love better and to be a presence to those that I interact with. I wish you well. I wish you hope!
