Very true. I didn't truly loose anything due to covid. I gained perspective. I realised what was important to me. It truly made me see what, in life, made me happy. I got sick on the 2nd of April. On Easter Sunday I hatched a clutch of bristlenose catfish. I was overjoyed. My hardest thing was NOT getting excited, and not laughing with joy. This was my first clutch of eggs. It kept me very busy. It kept my mind off how sick I was.

Thank you for sharing, Clare! It fascinates me how many ways people have found to cultivate joy and celebrate life even while dealing with illness.
