"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.
