We’ve all had to learn to cope with change over the past 18 months. If there is anything the pandemic has taught us, it’s not just how capable we are at adapting, but an appreciation of the many things we can do. Making a fresh start can be a matter of surviving new circumstances, a liberating new idea or a small, fun, change like a new hairstyle, and everything that symbolises.
Next time you ask yourself ‘Can I do that?’ take inspiration from novelist Margaret Leland who said: ‘As soon as you feel too old to do a thing, do it.’
