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
