If there is one thing that I have learned from this pandemic is how much friendships matter to day to day life. I was guilty of taking friendships for granted in the hustle and bustle of normal life, but now I see things differently. I miss seeing my co-workers. I used to feel it was a routine part of the work day. Now I see how much a privilege it is. Likewise for my friends, I used to dismiss my friendships, thinking they were only being polite to me. After all the favors they have done for me, I began to see that we are indeed friends. It is great having friends. You can phone, text, or Zoom with them. They lift my mood when I am feeling down, and inspire me to do my best. I feel so much richer for having friends.
