Hi there.
It is so easily to try and take responsibility for other peoples lives and happiness. And yet, as hard as we try, nothing is ever gonna feel good enough…And yet, they all survive anyway… My own thing was food hygiene, in a care environment… Nothing was ever good enough. I look at it this way… ‘No one can ever say I didn’t try…’ That is quite a powerful statement. I don’t say ‘tried’, cos that could mean a failure, a less than positive outcome, which may or may not have happened recently.
The food hygiene argument has been going on for years, but a guy has cut through a lot of the stress by coming up with the word ‘Bontamination’. It can be found on google, and looks like a really good idea…Especially after the COVID crisis…
It sure isn’t easy, is it?
