Finding a silver lining hasn’t been easy this year. I have noticed though that my kids have learned how to be at home and even hang out with each other. They were so used to being busy, going from one planned activity to another, that good old fashioned playing in your room or out on the sidewalk was a lost art! I suppose I could say the same about myself. I drink more tea, watch more TV, and go on more walks. I’ve had to seriously lower my standard of cleanliness now that every room is an office or a school room. It sometimes feels like I live in a frat house, but it’s okay. This is temporary.
As far as what I’m looking forward to? Number one is traveling, but honestly sitting in a crowded restaurant sounds almost as satisfying.
