What we will remember after the coronavirus
There are silver linings to this pandemic. Families quarantined together are experiencing a closeness unknown before this time. Friends near and far are receiving text messages, emails, and Facetime/Zoom/Skype/What’sApp missives to stay safe and know they are loved.
The world seems smaller.
The dogs are getting walked.
The pantries are being cleaned.
We are capable of anything including:
Not making money
Not being physically close to people
Not freaking out
Teaching our own kids
Cooking three square meals a day out of what is in our cupboards
Washing our hands more times than we could have imagined
Not driving as much
Imagine how the planet is healing from this slowdown?
Imagine how this slowdown is rewiring our brains to:
Not consume as much
Not waste as much
Not fear what we cannot control
Not waste today planning for tomorrow
