Things to be planning for during the lock down.

The lock down has left me with little time to think over things beyond my home. There are for sure things that need future planning as well. Without a doubt, all of us are currently doing is, meeting deadlines of food, demand and supply. Not only that, both husband and I have to be caregivers for our little human too. I am obviously blessed with some moments to ponder over things that I haven’t previously thought off. Things that need to be planned and acted upon.We enjoy our lazy moments as a family too.

At this time besides contemplating the aftermath of the lock down, few other things need to be considered too. In my opinion, these times have given us enough time to plan and consider the following things.
