It is easy to list all that we don’t like about the limitations and losses related to being quarantined. It may be more difficult to recognize the benefits:
- We become more aware and grateful for the good people in our lives.
- We learn that we are more resourceful than we thought before.
- We realize the importance of slowing down to enjoy a meal or a book or a conversation.
- We learn more about those we live and share more experiences with them.
- We learn how to entertain ourselves and to be more creative.
- We realize talents and strengths we never knew we had.
- We become better at sharing and setting valuable priorities.
- Hopefully we will learn how to take better care of the environment and each other.
