1. Appreciate the hiking trails at the county parks more. 2. Carry out. Almost never did it pre-COVID3. Renewed commitment to walking and carrying my bag whenever possible when I golf.4. Appreciation for life's smaller moments and not taking them for granted. 5. Increased appreciation for essential workers. The truckers, grocery stockers, farmers, butchers, canners. The appreciation for the interconnectedness of the global economy. Workers getting more money. 6. The reminder to be patient. That we (the universal American we) have been given many things that we take for granted and that we should be reminded to be more patient and appreciative of what we do have. It is my fervent hope that with Christmas approaching, the global supply glitches will force us all to be less consumeristic and more appreciative. That instead of a manufactured faux war on Christmas, that we can remember what it is supposed to be about. Not just more.

100% forgot about your first point. That's been huge! I was going up to Lincolnshire from Chicago and had to leave at 6am to avoid the insane traffic. Coming back was always a nightmare.
Mine was 3 hours round trip. I had already announced my plan to retire effective April 15, 2020, but if I was coming back, I would have said NFW am I coming into the office every day once they opened the office back up.
Nah, just a realistic. Its been a grind daily. Challenges galore. Normallcy can't get here fast enough. The past 19 months have felt like 19 years, hey?
My golf game has come back to life. I played more golf over the past nineteen months and rekindled my love of the game. Prior to Covid if not for my boys loving the game I would have hung up the sticks. While only 75% or so back, it feels good to be trending the right way.Extra golf bonus, my son won lottery for two practice rounds at The Open Championship at St. Andrews and we will be attending the 150th. Very jacked up about the upcoming trip to St. Andrews.
