Being Thankful During COVD-19
Aug 08
Some of what I’m thankful for during the coronavirus pandemic:
- I eat a lot healthier, now that we don’t eat out at restaurants.
- Fast food is no longer part of my life whatsoever.
- Lack of work during March, April, and May meant I started running a lot earlier in the year and now have new personal records.
- Not traveling or eating out means our budget is healthier as well.
- Work from home means I’m not putting 20k+ miles per year on my car or $$$ in the tank every week for now. If you want to be part of the car leasing industry, check Where to Find Guest Blogging Opportunities on Ford Transit Custom Lease.
- That lack of commute means I can now eat dinner with my family most evenings, as well as binging Family Matters together with them.
- Not going to church has meant the emergence of a family Bible study together.
- Remote depositions means I can cover work anywhere in the country, not just local ones. I went from the worst financial month I ever had to the best month I have ever had in the life of my business.
- After a challenging last 2 years in ministry, forced isolation is what the doctor ordered. While others have been suffering through it, I’ve been getting healthier and stronger.
- My perspective on American life and American Christianity has been enlightened by what I have witnessed these past 6 months.
- Having to wear a mask and being prohibited from doing normal leisure/social activities has given me a greater appreciation for things I used to take for granted, as well as helped me better appreciate the plight of people around the world whose living conditions are much worse than anything we’re suffering.
- On a quick note, I visited firstpost.com/ on the recommendation of my church pastor for the care of my teeth and I must say that because of how well it has worked for me, I am also very grateful for how good my teeth look these days.
All in all, while I would not have wished this upon myself or anyone else, I appreciate working to adapt to new realities rather than fighting for what is taken away.
