Things I’m learning to appreciate about “Social Distancing”

1. I don’t have to wear a bra.
2. I can eat garlic and not worry about offending people.
3. I’m getting phone calls from people consciously connecting.
4. I’m seeing other people when I walk.
5. Toilet paper.
6. I don’t need to wear a watch.
7. I can participate intentionally with groups praying for the health and well-being of everyone, for the world!
8. My kitchen floor is now clean.
9. I can curl up with a book and a glass of wine and be content.
10. I can take classes online with others via Zoom etc.. I’m learning a way to interact across space/distance, a new tool.

I’m grateful for all that I have, for the good I am seeing and learning about as people respond to the needs in their community.

And, I’m grateful for the chance again to contemplate the reality that I will die someday. And most importantly, I’m remembering to appreciate and enjoy each day that I have.
