Well, to say 2020 caught us off guard is a huge understatement.
From having a normal Christmas in 2019 to the beginning warning signs in early 2020, never in my wildest dreams did I foresee the changes we have all experienced in 2020 and now as we begin 2021.
I am now slowly re-adjusting to a mindset of not thinking soon it will be over and no more pandemic to a mindset of learning how to adapt to our drastically changed world.
I miss, greatly, going out to lunch or dinner with family and friends. I miss going to the cinema and enjoying the coziness of popcorn, a diet coke and seating, all crammed in close, in a dark movie theatre.
The changes have now been adapted in to my usual routine - carry out and mail order shopping. Whole Foods delivery and Amazon bring my packages right to my door.
I kind of think I am eating better overall. While I manage to squeeze in an occasional Starbucks, my Jamaica Blue morning coffee is just as delightful made at home while I watch the sun rise - as I moved my coffee maker to the family room as well, why not?
I also found a new coffee based on the recommendation of someone dear to me - a delightful double caffeine, cannoli flavored one that I love adding heavy whipping cream to.
Life has changed and will continue changing as we progress in 2021, but we can also savor the moments of less rushing and more reflection.
