Tonight at dinner we began to compile a list of all of our favorite things that have happened as a result of the pandemic. These are the things we said thus far, and I'll add more to this list as they arise. I hope they an help us to keep a positive outlook about this pandemic, even as it wears on and things also seem hard:
Me:
- Not having to commute; getting to spend more time in the morning sleeping and exercising
- Not having to make school lunches for kids
- Getting the kids to learn how to ride bikes and going on family bike rides
- Getting to go on daytime hikes during the summertime, since J was home with the kids and I could leave
- More time together as a family
- More time to work in the garden
- Dad is home right after work and can cook dinner instead of me
J:
- Getting to have more game time as a family
- Getting to take breaks in the work day and be with his family or play piano
- Not having to be stuck in traffic for his commute
- Likes getting to make dinners (so he doesn't have to eat mine - although he was too nice to say this part out loud)
S:
- Getting to stay home all the time and never leave (he said this a little sarcastically, but he also kind of means it)
L:
- Likes that we get to play games as a family
