Thinking this morning, that even though I am really tired of hearing about Covid, there must be something positive that has happened in these past two years. So here is my list:

I learned about and acquired a lightening cable for my iPad so I could stream opera ,first, then our own philharmonic orchestra streamed a number of wonderful chamber works because they still wanted to play but couldn’t in large groups. I heard some wonderful repertoire that I wouldn’t have otherwise.

I made more art work because I had more constraints on my practice. I had to use what I had because shopping was not pleasurable, and that also made some of the combinations of fabric and paper more interesting.

I became extremely efficient shopping for groceries. I can now do a shop in under 40 minutes and still get exactly what I need.

I took Jane Dunnewold’s creative strength training course, and found some long distance friends at the same time rediscovering I really enjoy hand stitching more than machine stitching.

My time wasn’t spent planning it was spent doing or walking .

I have always enjoyed my own company and I find now I still choose to be alone more than I choose to socialize, which also give me more time to read and write, make, and listen.
When I did travel, it was less hectic, planes were quite civilized barring the mask wearing which was a nuisance but less than I figured it would be.

How about you? What positive things did you uncover from the experience?
