I have changed by being more appreciative of what I have, how I live, and whom I love.  Being at my home in NH, I have really come to appreciate the beauty of the land, but also the quietness and serenity of nature.  To see the changing seasons, the exquisite moon out of the bathroom window at night, the flowers and the flowering trees and bushes….it’s a marvel of the world which I appreciate so much more than prior to the pandemic.

I also appreciate my husband even more than prior to the pandemic.  His thoughtfulness and appreciation of who I am has enhanced our relationship immensely.  I also have learned to respect the space that my adult children want along with their spouses.  I have enjoyed getting to know them as adults more and more as the months have gone on.  

So, I feel changed because I feel even more fortunate to have close friends, family, and the beauty of nature surrounding me.
