I hope we still enjoy the little things once the pandemic ends - My 2 Cents

While we are all looking forward to getting back to normal, WFMY News 2's Maddie Gardner reflects on enjoying the little things during the pandemic.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — It’s time for ‘My 2 Cents.’

As we approach the one year mark of the pandemic – I’ve been reflecting on how much life has changed. I think one of the things I’ll take away from all of this is how important it is to enjoy the little things.

Making plans to go grab dinner with a friend, listening to live music, going to visit family, working out in a gym without a mask – and doing all of those things without having to worry about the virus.

There are so many things I miss doing – even things I never thought I’d miss – like hugging people (I’m not a big hugger), using public restrooms, or being in a crowd of people.

But because there’s so much I miss, I’ve learned to appreciate what I have and what I can do right now.

I love every second I spend FaceTiming with my sister and my nieces. I look forward to nights staying in without feeling like I’m missing out on something.

I cannot wait to get back to things like they were – or as close to normal as we’ll get – but I hope we take enjoying the little things with us.
