Things I learned to do during the pandemic:
In our pandemic period, I learned both practical and abstract knowledge and skills. In the sense of practicality, I began learning how to bake, cook, and dutifully organize our home. Meanwhile, the most important abstract knowledge that I have encountered is that life is more than just hustling and bustling--rest and recovery are vital, as well as spending time with our loved ones. God's will.
