Day 135 - Clap fatigue.

Clap for our Carers 👏

I know I wrote a post about this before but I still cannot believe how amazing it is to see people showing support and gratitude to the nations care providers, front line workers and all those who continue to risk their own safety in order to help others.

I think this is the 6th or 7th week that the majority of the people in England have stood on their doorstep, on their balcony or at their window and clapped their hands like crazy in order to say thank you. 

These times are surreal and I keep thinking that one day I’ll wake up and this will all have been one long nightmare. I wonder (Probably because I have too much time on my hands atm) will this be something we will teach our children and our children’s children about. How even though we were apart for a moment in time it was to ensure that one day we would be able to stay together? 

Will this be an event in world history that students will have to write a 500 word essay about? How when people could not say thank you with a hug or even pop round to their mates house for a cuppa they instead said thank you by standing at their window at the same time each week and applauded with the rest of their street, city and country. I think there is just something so heartwarming when you see everyone stood with their pots and pans, children with whistles (one musical family even had a kazoo!) or just clapping their hands. It’s easy to get caught up in the dark parts of what is happening globally  but I think it’s important to remember the light side of this situation too. How people still remember to care, how people still remember to say thank you. 

My mum put it into perspective today how strange the times are. She said when else would it be acceptable to say to your children ‘right i’m off upstairs to clap out of the window for 5 minutes’ and not receive looks like they’ve slightly lost it!

I hope in years to come, people remember this simple act of kindness. Even though it is just standing at your doorstep clapping your hands for a few minutes you never know who needs to hear that. 

Thank you to our carers, to the doctors, nurses, care staff, front line workers, council workers, cleaners, food delivery drivers, shop workers, pharmacists, bus & train drivers, journalists,  news reporters , and all those who keep going every day to keep us afloat in this sea of panic. Keep going! You are very much appreciated!  👏❤

#Repost @bbcscotnews @download.ins --- Scotland has once again paused to clap, cheer and pipe for our NHS staff, carers and key workers. From a care home in Grantown-on-Spey to the new NHS Louisa Jordan hospital, people clapped - as has become the weekly tradition on a Thursday at 20:00 - to pay tribute to those workers helping the country during the coronavirus pandemic. At Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, after they had clapped, they also paused to remember those who have died from coronavirus and those who are grieving for a lost loved one. #clapfornhs #clapforcarers #clapforkeyworkers #clapforthenhs #coronavirus #covid19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_V8OHKBsTD/?igshid=1qrd68ai170sx
