Some Things I Learned “From This Pandemic Forward”–

July 7, 2020 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

  • How to seriously make very good, wise use of my time-
  • Not get caught up in politics, in hate sides, and in the Black Lives Matter Movement. For my own peace of mind and daily tranquility, I’ve let it all go.
  • How to be there for people without getting stuck inside their emotions.
  • How to live more simply and enjoy it.
  • Picking up old hobbies again/trying new ones; making them into an art form for profit!
  • Listening to the birds more, and more often.
  • I downsized my personal Facebook page to now only having blood family there--my original FB page that I began 10 or so years ago! Instead of closing the page entirely, I kept it open only to keep in contact w/my father’s family; beloved kin…
  • Finding new interests in creating and becoming even more resourceful than I ever have been!–and that was always a part of my fabric.
  • Finding that I don’t need technology all the time.
  • Have learned, also, to categorize and analyze more productively for work and working things out to prevent complications as much as possible.
  • How to be acceptably okay with flaws, even skin flaws.
  • To embrace aging more beautifully.
  • Preventing certain conversations with people.
  • Reading more often and consistently each day.
  • Precisely preparing for the future.
  • Living more presently in each and every moment as I so humanly can do.
  • Giving but no longer over-giving to the outside world of ungrateful people–knowing the difference among people for my own self-respect.
  • No longer apologizing for people’s bad behavior/cruel words.
  • Explanations don’t always need/have to be/should be said in every situation.
  • Healing and walking forward-
  • Having a clearer and healthier mindset that is intentional and purposeful.
  • Being abundantly grateful. (Not a cliche when genuinely abiding)
  • Liking and loving my own way of life for myself-
