Like most others, I imagine, I lost two years of normal life. Closings, restrictions, interrupted services, and reduced visits with family took at toll that I felt especially acutely because I had just really settled into life as a retiree. That time will not be returned to me and now that things have kind of returned to normal I’m an older person than I was when the pandemic started. What I gained is an appreciation for many things I took for granted, like going to restaurants and visiting and the easy access to things that the supply chain provided before the disruptions.
