I am learning more. I have had the time to read and learn new things. Surprisingly I watch less TV because IMO there is nothing worth watching.

Spending less money on eating out is a plus. Not eating out has helped me to eat better. Eating better has made me more healthy. The Real Estate market here in NH is having me wrking 7 days a week. Business is thriving however, I desperately need a warm beach for a rest.

I've found ways to use the lemons. Sure, there have been moments when I allowed myself to feel emotions that I'd rather not feel - the biggest thing has been to simply allow myself to feel whatever I am feeling and then move through the emotions and past to a brighter, happier place. Sometimes in order to do that I've had to eliminate the toxic people who refuse to do anything but complain and spew hate. It is my COVID cleanup!

I had time to train more unique scenarios with my scent detection dogs. Having time to actually read a book and finish it was nice!
When you say "2. I've perfected putting the edge on a knife and slicing tomatoes thin and straight"
Do you mean you learned how to sharpen a serrated tomato knife ?
That takes some skill! LOL

Much better connection with my clients. I've had many many meaningful conversations and connection on a "human" level.
Biz has been very good in our area since COVID restrictions hit the scene - if anything it has driven up prices and made a hot market hotter.

Good morning Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 I love that you've asked this! I am not a fan of labeling one year as entirely "good" or "bad" and 2020 is no exception to that mindset for me. This year has had many blessings. The biggest is that one of our daughters is back home. We walk together and have had some great talks. We get to see her "in action" with her studies & practicum and better understand the path she's pursuing. Without Covid, we wouldn't have this added time with her under our roof. This year has also allowed me a lot of reflection and heightened self awareness. On the professional front, this year is looking to be the best one ever... :)

I believe that any good from Covid 19 is outweighed by the not-good. Or, as Abraham Lincoln said: “I feel like the man who was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. To the man who asked him how he liked it, he said: 'If it wasn't for the honor of the thing, I'd rather walk. '

Nada much. Expenses are down, but so is income. Other than that, there have been no changes, other than refreshing my earthquake kit back in January when the lockdowns looked like they would happen.

New six month grandson next door on a Maine lake... Dad telecommuting to his Nike job, see daughter and little guy daily. Don't want to go back to Boston. Another granddaughter lives locally at the farm with her parents who are educators. One son home this week from Colorado wild fires. Neat to have family around you in my safe small town with zip for COVID.

Holding onto friendships at a distance can be a challenge but rewarding. Talking more on the phone rather than just sending a quick text or email. Because there are no functions to go to, dressing casually is the norm. Except for a few items, really don't spend money on clothes. Or anything else. Except here in Carmel-by-the-Sea we do eat out often in those "parklets" restaurants have set up in parking spaces outside of their restaurants. Not the formal dining inside that we used to do and that end up being quite a bit more expensive. Everything is done online, it seems, and save a lot of time and gasoline. Often, my car doesn't leave its parking spot. I "shop local" in our village rather than go to a big chain store where I'm exposed to a lot of people. Although more expensive, it's much more charming and the shop keepers are appreciative.
