True happiness

In these tough times of pandemic it has served to give value to the little things in life that under normal circumstances we took for granted. Faced with materialism and the mistake between pleasure and happiness. Everything can be lost in an instant and it is in our vulnerability that we appreciate the great luck of enjoying health when others unfortunately do not have it.

Resilience

This year has been in a rush, regarding to learn resilience in the face of adversity. Without time for adaptation, people have had to become flexible in an unforeseen context. Accept and adapt. These lessons can be used to apply in other moments of life when the storm has passed.

Awareness

Other ways of communicating

Social distancing measures to reduce the chances of the spread of Covid-19 have given way to new communication formats such as recurring video calls between family members and virtual meetups. Imagining going through this pandemic without the availability of these tools would have been dramatic. This distance has also led us to value emotional ties more.
