In New South Wales, Australia, today is the day we have all been waiting for. We can start going to cafes or restaurants to eat in, have 5 people visit our homes and enjoy the loosening of restrictions in many other everyday activities and events.
This process throughout the world is known as opening up. As I begin to get excited about the options of our increasing freedoms, I considered what the phrase ‘opening up’ means. After all, nothing in life can happen if we don’t do something different or let someone in.
Here are my thoughts arranged in an acrostic poem.
OPENING UP
Ordering thoughts
Planning to make changes
Endeavouring to cover all options
Negotiating any obstacles
Intuitively doing what needs to be done
Not letting fear stop us
Going ahead with the plan knowing it is as good as it can be
Understanding the risks
Positive thinking about the outcomes
