Simchos. I’ll think twice about skipping simchos because of laziness. I’ll make an extra effort to go wherever I’ll be invited.

Yellow Buses
In fact I miss it so much I’d even sit myself onto a yellow bus for a long distance trip right now.

Their is so much I miss , that I keep saying that never will I look @ things as simple and not take anything for granted .

Here's the list:

Having my sanity while kids are off to school.

Get together with friends, families.

Going to simches.

Gym class.

Working outside the house .

Normal schedule/ routine

Being able to have help like nurse or rest
place after birth

Go visit sick

And of course the list goes on and on!

How can I take these things as if nothing. I think I will be so thankful (thankful already) when this is over , that I will have the feeling to say nishmas after each thing I (we)
Didn't have until now.
And btw tears are dripping down my cheeks now , for real . Just from being emotional. Im a very emotional type of person , and anything can make me feel emotional and cry.

Humanity is very adaptable. In a few years time this while period will be a distant memory and well be back to life as normal. Even if there is a lasting 'new normal' we will just become used to it and take it for granted.

We'll think back to this period and wonder how we coped, and when we remember it we will be thankful, but I think we will slip back into taking normal lifestyles for granted fairly quickly.

Next Pesach we'll look back at Pesach under lockdown, and realize that Pesach with our family isn't something we can take for granted - but in five or ten years, we'll barely think of it.

Funny. I've come to realize that all my distant acquaintances can make simchos without me and my life is much more peaceful without running out to mazel tov simchos every night.

I hope people keep simchos small in the future. And even if they dont... count me out.

Having private time with my dh. Just being able to sit on the couch with a coffee the two of us.
My dd always was okay with us having some private time or us sitting together for a coffee. She would go play. But all of us being home together for so long, she wouldn't hear of it anymore. She felt left out...
She also went to sleep later so we didn't even have the evenings to ourselves

Getting together with friends. Seeing my family who live across the country. Being able to go out without a mask and gloves, and not having to wipe down every single item that comes in the house from the grocery store (or let it sit for several days), and for grocery shopping and running errands not to be a huge stress anymore. Also libraries.

Me too. I hope people will re-evaluate simchas.

That the plague is a thing of the past...
Actually, the real plague can be healed quite well with antibiotics...
But I thought that big epidemies belonged to long foregone eras...
turns out it's not true...
And we are lucky that it was a comparatively harmless virus...
What would we do if a virus with 50% mortality rate spread that easily?

So, in the end, this was mainly a training exercise for a really dangerous virus that is bound to appear once, but we don't know when...
