How has the pandemic and the events of the last few months changed the way you look at things?
The biggest change for me is that I’m a lot more alert and aware of my surroundings.
When I step out of the house in the morning at 4:30am, I look around for anything out of the ordinary in the back and front yards, but then I’ve been doing that ever since I met a bear face to face in the backyard a few years ago. Now I’m also looking for a fake cop or a knife wielding fugitive .
On my daily commute I find I’m more aware of small changes from the day before like a car parked in the ditch with police tape around it or something that just doesn’t look right.
The other big change is when I have to shop. I go shopping with the attitude that it won’t be in and out, that there will be shortages and I try to be extra nice to the staff who have to deal with all of it day in and day out.
How about you? What changes do you notice about yourself?
