Should we continue at a slower pace?

There have certainly been some devastating consequences of life during Covid-19 and many people have had their worlds turned upside down. Like everything that is experienced in life however, we can usually find a silver lining if we look hard enough or wait for the initial shockwaves to subside. 

One of the positive outcomes that was bandied around in my own circles and via social media feeds, was the relief that many families felt in being able to slow down. To be able to have commitment free weekends, to spend time doing different things, spur of the moment games or movies or baking or creating. And whilst many kids missed their friends, their sporting and extra curricula activities, there were many that also relished the days of unstructured play and idle hours.
