Thanks you for your article and I totally agree that despite the tragedy that this pandemic has brought there are also many things to be grateful for. For me I am using my regular commute time usually spent driving in heavy traffic to walk in the early morning. I too am fortunate to be able to work from home which has allowed for a slower less frantic pace to my days. I am also enjoying many of the benefits such as cooking that your Facebook response highlights. I am surprised at how few things I really “need” in my life and am hopeful that the simplified version I’m living now remains. Prior to lockdown I had been considering retiring but was worried I may be bored. I am now more confident I can make my days productive and fulfilling when I decide to give up my current employment as I know I’m not retiring from life but just from a particular role I’ve held for many years
