Covid 19 made me realise what truly matters

This mother is a strong woman. She runs her own shop and works hard from morning to night to make a living under normal cercumstances. During a pandemic, her business is associated with even more stress and pressure. But she also loves her children immensely and would do anything for them. In Sweden, snooty but otherwise healthy children mean children who stay at home, and this forced this woman to close her already strained store.

But instead of getting caught up in negative rumination, she told me afterwards that this was one of the best days in a very, very long time for her. "When the noise around us subsides, it's easier to remember what truly matters."

A common insight during this pandemic which has put us under a lot of losses, insequirites and worries. But also freed up more time with our families, more time in nature, and ironically more time to live.
