For me, and for those in my immediate neighborhood, we learned to slow down and smell the roses. Simple things. Since we were home bound most of the time....we enjoyed having regular “brown bagging lunch in the park” while observing Covid protocol. We had to shout to hear each other but we solved the problems of the world! Then we added smaller social gatherings outside on our driveways. No one has been INSIDE another’s home since early 2020, and I’m not sure we will ever recognize each other without masks. Walking and front porch sitting became favorite pastimes. None of this is a big deal in ordinary times...simple...but such a blessing in this upheaval of a year. The real blessing came as we realized we could actually discuss current events and politics respectfully. Since we all come from different backgrounds, I think each of us learned a lot just by listening. We shared recipes, books, and favorite shows to binge watch on Tv. The colder temps have cramped our style a bit in the last few weeks, but we have been shown that this difficult year just might have been God’s way of hitting a big RESET button.
Please add what you consider as a blessing of 2020.
