🎧2020, not a total waste. Lessons learned: slow down, reinvest in family and community, prioritize, take care of ourselves. What do we hold on to from the old “normal” as we create the new “normal.”
🎧Online is good for reaching out, connecting to others. The downside, we are in the dark ages of social media, with so much access with no regulations. Need to examine how it impacts the mental health of individuals and society as a whole.
🎧Protecting joy: Plants, gardening, walking outside, cooking, sleeping in, no commute, finding the funny, having good people close, mindless comedies, being around people who like to laugh and have a good time, dogs, animals. A gift to people for next year: Listening. Connecting. Love hard.
