2020 was a strange year indeed, but it forced us to slow down and evaluate life or reevaluate. Well most persons across the world had to do it. That’s when many persons were stopped dead in their tracks by something that they had no control over. That is when many had to really evaluate their lives and relationships. Many really got to know their friends and family for the first time, I mean really got to know them. They were there all the time anyway and many also got to know themselves. We had to decide what made us happy in the confines of our homes in many instances. Imagine that, having to look to yourself for your happiness and nothing or nobody else.
At the end of the day what really makes you happy? I have always thought experiences made me happier than material things and yes I was right, well for me that is. Doing nothing or just being in my backyard made me relax. In the pre-Covid days it was so hard to achieve. I guess we were just too busy to realize that we could be happy otherwise. When we slowed down or stopped we actually got the time to smell the roses. Do we really want to slow down or stop? I have master the art of doing nothing. Never thought I would have been able to do that. I now know it is possible and I would love to continue this for a while 😁. For as long as possible.
Many persons are not able to slow down or stop and spend time with themselves because we are social beings. I guess it just depends on you and if you really need to see and connect with people. Let me know if you have to see people or if it’s fine for you to just talk to them. Although I might not see everyone as I used to I can still call and text. Is that enough or do we physically have to see persons to have that human connection? Is that contact only achieved in the face to face mode?

You’re spot on. After the extra fast pace I had in 2019, the year 2020 was a stark difference. It forced me to slow down. Thankfully I enjoy my own company and have no problem doing nothing 😁
I must admit though that I miss the human touch as I’m from a long line of huggers. But as my mom used to say, this too shall pass. In the mean time I share virtual hugs 🤗
I cherish being able to link with my family and friends through technology so that makes me happy.
For me happiness is a choice. So I don’t worry but I choose to be.
Love and blessings my friend 💕
I like you have learnt to slow down and smell the roses.
Technology has made that difference.
Thank you for being a friend.
I tell you that 2020 has been different. To me more sweet than bitter. I agree with Meris, happiness is definately a choice.
Definitely a choice and no one but you have that power.
