Awesome 2020

"Awesome 2020"

"Having money makes you rich. Having time makes you wealthy." ~Robert Kiyosaki

If we look at the past eight weeks of 2020, also known as #Quarantine2020, we have been universally forced to become wealthy. 

Wealthy with time.

I can wholeheartedly say I have used my time, and therefore my wealth, wisely.

·       I have cleaned and dusted our home more in the last eight weeks than I have in the last... well, lifetime.

·       I have put together more puzzles in the last eight weeks than I have in the last 15 years.

·       I have slept more in the last eight weeks than I have in the last five years.

·       I have sorted, purged, and organized - clothes, tchotchkes, files, arts/crafts, and other superfluous stuff we've accumulated.

·       I have spent more time with my family in the last eight weeks than I have in the lifetime of this precious family my husband and I have created.

·       I have taken more baths, something I consider a luxury, in the last eight weeks than I have in the whole of my lifetime.

·       I have taken neighborhood walks with my family more in the last eight weeks than I have in the last 20 years.

·       We have played board games; we have watched movies; we have read books; we have played computer games; we have cooked; we have snuggled with our kitties; we have spent (the ever-elusive) silent time with each other.

It has been divine. 

It has made me evaluate how I spend my time.

It has helped me realize so many things.

We are, indeed, so very wealthy!

Here’s to the lessons I’ve learned during #Quarantine2020.

When you review the past eight weeks of your life, have you used your wealth wisely? How have you spent your quarantine time? I would love to know some of the wealth you and your family have experienced while in quarantine.
