Benefits Of Covid 19

My company "retired" me earlier than I was expecting. I would have worked until I dropped because I was afraid I wouldn't have enough money to retire. Now I realize I do and have no stress and obligations in my life. This is the same for many other older workers from my company that I keep in touch with.

Many Baby Boomers retired due to Covid and the workforce will be missing them because they had experience and were willing to give up their lives for their careers. So, a big positive is that Baby Boomers have now learned to enjoy the rest of their lives.

I've developed a greater appreciation for direct contact with friends and family that I took for granted in the past.

My family and I started using Zoom in March 2020 and we have continued a tradition of meeting every month. I got reacquainted with a niece who I had lost track of for 30 years. We also discovered a cousin who has joined us. Our family never spent much effort communicating, and we have grown much closer over the past two years. We also put new energy into developing and maintaining a genealogy that had been started by my nephew. For me it has created a whole new appreciation for family.
