I am going to jump into three blog posts that show a lot of myself. I apologize in advice and hold on.
I know I am beating a dead horse. So the covid, lock down, corona, social distancing, COVID-19, the vid, quarantine, ‘rona, … whatever you want to call the past 19 months or more has made an impact on our lives. And some more than others. Blah, blah…BLAH.
But really, what have you learned during this time? My two major take aways that I have learned are outlined here.
I need people.
I learned I am terrible at social distancing. I need people. And I need people to smile. I need to be able to smile at people. Beyond thank you to those who put up with me and my need to see you. Or talk too much over whatever mediate platform or sitting on porches freezing.
Meanwhile, my alone time, not traveling, not talking to strangers have made me nearly an introvert. I have switched jobs, and I am exhausted after five days seeing with some of my favorite people in one of my favorite cities. Today, I believe this state can be revived, and or I hope. So bring back trade show and stock show season!
What about you?
Humans are weird. And I love it.
I was always taught not to judge people, but to try and understand why they have a different lifestyle, passions, culture or whatever than myself. Turns out that that is easier to say than do. During this weird time, I realized more than ever that we are all a little quirky. No matter how cool, unique, individual, trendy or on brand for your niche, you are still weird in your own right. And guess what, that is cool.
Some have lost jobs, gained new skills, found a different passion, changed their life path, whatever it is, I have caught myself from thinking, why would they do that to thinking, well that is different, I wonder what lead them to that change, or what sparked that passion?
Those are just two major things I have learned in this weird time in history. I’ve also gotten pretty decent at making corn hole boreds and drinking wine if you haven’t noticed.
