This year has been tough for everyone. The coronavirus has changed everyone’s plans, habits and way of life. However, some good has come out of this pandemic. We now value many things that we used to take for granted and considered “normal”, like spending time with family or friends, visiting our grandparents, or having lunch in a restaurant.
