This last 18 months has really been a time of reflection for me. While the pandemic itself has been a terrible thing for the country and the world, for me it was a wake-up call and an opportunity for me to take back some time, and realize what's really important in life. I've always been one who's been very busy and involved, and then suddenly most of what I had going on in my life came to a screeching halt. Honestly, I didn't hate all the quarantining. I was still able to get outside and bike and do other things I enjoy, but I also appreciated having more "me" time and stepping back from my crazy life and reflect. I plan to be more judicial with my time moving forward. I still want to be involved and have all kinds of interactions with people, but I'm reclaiming some of that time for myself, too. It was definitely eye-opening and life-changing, but for me it wasn't all bad. In fact, it ended up being pretty good in a lot of ways!
