January lockdown day 5. Out for a walk this morning - caught the best part of the day - incorporating permitted exercise with essential shopping. Try to make weekends ‘different’ so cleaning waits till Monday!

The first of my personal commitments is to work to increase human happiness by encouraging the cultivation of inner values and a sense of concern for others’ well being. These are the key factors whether one is a religious person or not.

Making others happy is not a question of sacrificing our own happiness. Trying to make others happy, even when we do not always succeed, is a source of great satisfaction. Anger and hatred are signs of weakness, while compassion is a sure sign of strength.

Another nurse and I were told by an APP we were absurd for staying at the bedside with an obtunded man while he died. What’s absurd is to let people die alone, to depart this life, without knowing there is someone there with them.
