Things I learnt from this pandemic It is during this staying-at- home period that I realize how simple life could be and how easy our daily needs can be met. Never have I had so much time cooking at home. I then find that simple dishes bring me great joy. So does the more than enough rest during this period. So should we really occupy ourselves with so many activities when we regain our freedom? Outdoor girl as I still am, I, however, find that staying at home, taking our time reading and cooking could also be a really pleasant experience! And, simplicity is beauty itself.
