What are you grateful for BECAUSE of the pandemic?

It seems like most of the news about the pandemic is negative, but I have seen a number of positives that benefit a person with a disability. What has been your experience? Any positives because of the pandemic in your life?

As a family caregiver - Prioritizing time for myself so I can give of myself to others. Starting a mindfulness practice that has helped me be clearer, more focused and more balanced. As a result of this.....appreciating my family more, seeing how hard they are trying without getting wrapped up in my exhaustion, being grateful for the quality time with my husband who is 2 years now in a wheelchair. Letting go of anything not important and taking this precious time to reset our lives. Finally being grateful for how lucky we are when so many others are less fortunate.

@Resilience so lovely. Thank you for sharing your experience. Just because life slows down doesn’t mean there isn’t beauty, intimacy, caring, and life. In fact there might just be more!

As much as I miss seeing people in person, I am very thankful that everyone is accepting remote work and video meeting technology. I think this opens the door to a lot more opportunities for people with disabilities who benefit from working at home. I know that I really love being able to go to the bathroom in the comfort of my own home rather than at my office!

stephanie426 thanks for your comment. I agree that work has become more feasible with online collaboration. I’m a life coach and find zoom coaching to work really well and my bathroom issues aren’t on display. Hopefully remote workers will be viewed positively even after more offices reopen.
