In no way do I mean to minimize the devastating effect of this pandemic on individuals and society. However, in the darkest of times we must always look for silver linings. Here are a few, both individual and for society,that come to mind:
1. Vote by mail is seriously being considered by states that previously would never consider it. It is possible that it will be mandated! Once citizens experience it they will ever go back.
2. The closure of restaurants means more people will cook at home; more people (not all) will discover or rediscover the joy of cooking. Today, for me? Apple pie.
3. What were those books you have been meaning to read??
4. Neighborhoods are coming together. Ours is forming a support system in the event anyone gets sick.
What silver linings can you add?
