    100% true for me. Learning about the world we live in is crucial to knowing what we need to do to take care of it which involves emotional intelligence. This emotional and spiritual bond to me can only be formed by immersing yourself in the natural world verse always being indoors and simply learning about it through media and books.

    We've had a lot of great conversations with our friends in Minnesota and California, and have laughed a lot doing our online game nights. We've also played some new games with friends that we haven't played before and were able to share them with other friends. It has made me happy to be connecting more frequently with friends that live further away during the pandemic.
