40 Reasons why we’re still Happy
It’s fair to say that no one knew what 2020 had in store for us and this year has, shall we say, had many challenges. For most it’s been a very uncertain time and for some, downright miserable. So with everything crossed that things begin to return to normality sooner rather than later, it’s time to take stock and look back at the things we have learnt from Lockdown.
Despite the uncertainty we have had some moments when we couldn’t help but smile and the reasons behind the smiles are surprisingly simple. So here’s our home-schooled happiness, our list of isolation insights and reasons why we’re still ….Happy.
