I saw the heading above in the news today and it made me think. We have been in one form (or level) or another of lockdown for 600 days now in South Africa.

What have you learned in this time? How much has changed in your life in this time?

I learned that people can smile even when wearing masks. I also learned that we are capable of doing a lot more than we thought possible. I think this time has also given us the motivation to refocus on who and what is important to us every day.

Keep on smiling behind those masks!

This was the first photo I took of someone out in the city wearing a mask. Right at the start of the pandemic.
