[quote=Anonymous]There was a lot of deaths and disease among family and friends. It has been devastating. I also had a close shave and it impacted my health. The pandemic is not over and I worry that there may be other losses that will happen and I may never see my close relatives again. Life is fragile.

Still, I am very grateful that my health is getting better every day. We came together as a family and we are very solid. Love my family and would not have wanted to be stuck 24/7/365 with anyone but my family.  Kids did very well academically, they had great friends who were instrumental in helping them maintain their mental health, kids also ate better and became a lot healthier.  We all lost weight and exercised. DH took over cooking all of our meals and I suddenly had freedom from the kitchen. We helped a lot of people monetarily and also by doing chores for them so it made us feel really great. We did vaccine hunting for a lot of disadvantaged people and it was really gratifying to know that many people are protected because of a small part we played. We also did a lot of campaigning and ground level volunteer work to remove the cancer of Trump from our nation in 2020. And we poured money into Georgia.  Went on BLM marches and it was all very gratifying.  We are not a political family and had never funded any campaign before but this was something very positive for us.

We became a greener, consumed a bit less, read more books, kept in touch with family and friends and stopped following the news. We ignored social media and remained mentally saner, learned yoga, planted a pollinator garden, covered our lawn with clover and  learned to bake bread.  Also learned to attend classes, work, get togethers, therapy, celebrations and funerals over zoom. Prayed a lot. Still praying a lot.
