  I hope that the cases go down, the vaccine is effective, no new virus wreaks havoc, and we can go back to a relatively normal way of living #joptyfuture

  hope to be back in the classroom helping kids recover from the trauma of this past year. I can’t wait to see my grandparents in person again! But I don’t expect the word to be what it was before. Not sure what that might look like. #jotpyfuture

  I hope that we will remember to appreciate the simple aspects of life long after covid ceases to be an issue. It would be a solid lesson learned and not easily forgotten #jotpyfuture

  Post vaccinations, I hope to be able to travel more this summer and escape the brutal AZ heat! 🔥🔥🔥 dreaming of a day where I can eat inside restaurants with friends and family! Looking forward to volunteering more in the public, looking at ways to help out Azscend in the Chandler community #jotpyfuture

  #JOTPYSilver from mszneyugn

  #jotpysilver my silver lining was that this pandemic has taught me how little I actually need to be happy. It all came down to knowing that family was safe, having quality time, and learning to appreciate the simplicities in life. It’s taught me a different level of empathy and patience that I didn’t know I needed.

  #jotpysilver Jobs that may not have been an option for me a couple years ago (fixed-term positions out-of-state) are now totally options for me because they’ve recognized the need to offer remote employment options.

  #jotpysilver my silver lining during the pandemic was when all 5 of the major American sports were playing at the same time, due to the season delays that year and it was an awesome week of sports. I can speak for me and all my friends in saying it was definitely a bright spot during such a hard time.

  #JOTPYSilver from Nicole

  itsnicolegaston My silver lining is that more time at home allowed me to be able to spend time studying for my classes and the LSAT. I graduated from ASU in December, summa cum laude, and aced the LSAT. Over the past weekend I received my first law school acceptance with a scholarship offer. I probably would not be attending law school in the fall if the pandemic didn’t happen.

  #JOTPYLesson from kumarshivani285

  kumarshivani285 I have learned that there are so many things in life that we take for granted. There is definitely a difference between the way I view family interactions now and before the pandemic. I always assumed that I would be free to visit and see my family as I pleased and never even fathomed what it would be like to not have that luxury. I now cherish every time I get to see them and make the absolute most of each visit. Small things in life have taken greater precedence. Sometimes it is nice to be reminded of what really matters and go back to the basics #jotpylesson

  #JOTPYLesson from compassrosetattoo

  compassrosetatoo I was raised religious. But I am not now. This past year though, I have been thinking about Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. I realized that for all my rushing this is the time for standing still and enjoying things I took for granted. I am learning how to do that.

  #JOTPYLesson from tinykikisunshine

  tinykikisunshine I learned to speak up when conditions are unsafe, when politics are being prioritized over safety, and my community is being put at risk. I learned that voices do make a difference and no retaliation should silence me. Not a bad lesson for an introvert! #jotpylesson

  #JOTPYLesson from Jamie Bryant

  I have learned that I'm really terrible at time management. To achieve everything I want to accomplish, I'll need the lifetime of two Methuselahs. Now that I'm officially half-dead (middle aged), perhaps it's time to push some things off the table and hope I can make time for them in the next lifetime. Like sky diving.

  #JOTPYLesson from Marissa Rhodes

  I learned how to enjoy my kids' company. Before COVID and the resultant lockdown, I used to have anxiety about spending long periods of time at home with my kids. I felt like I needed to entertain them the entire time and like I was never doing a good enough job. COVID meant I had to face the fear really quickly. I learned what I loved about spending quality time with them and most importantly, that it's OK to encourage my kids to entertain themselves. #JOTPYLesson Joan Winnie Peggy Christman Mary Biggie-Beyer Jac Que Kelly Tee

  #JOTPYLesson from Robin Keagle

  In retrospect, I have learned that the initial stay-at-home order was an unexpected gift to my husband, daughter, and me. Although the reason for it was unfortunate, it turned out to be a blessing in many ways. Instead of rushing to and from school and work, we had time to eat together more, watch movies, and develop a comfortable but temporary new routine. To be sure, not every day was bright and shiny yet we definitely appreciated this unique time together. Our youngest will be off to college in a couple of years which made it even more special to have those moments with her. Family is everything. PS. I also learned that Zoom has a great HD filter that allows me to wear much less make-up, and how to coordinate a work blouse with pajama pants which is a silver lining indeed. #JOTPYLesson Julie Watters Amber Peters Kim Kimberly Rankin Michele Gable Stefanie Thayer Sinanovic

  #JOTPYLesson from Brandon Kyle Presley

  I have learned over the course of the pandemic to be thankful for those around me. As I have seen many lose loved ones over the past year, it has reminded me how important family and friends are in life and that one cannot overcome difficult times alone. Apart from those friends and family, we as individuals can do very little. Jacob Lute Joshua Colson Dakota Presley Whitney Lute Thomas Lovett #JOTPYLesson

  #JOTPYFuture from Clinton Roberts

  After the COVID-19 pandemic, my hope for the future is that people appreciate their time with one another. The pandemic has made me realize that virtual experiences and phone calls are not the same. We must remain vigilant and safe, but fully appreciative of our family and friends when those opportunities arise. #JOTPYFuture Lawson Miller Kelly Hoile McDaniel Morgan Keena Shawn McDaniel II Chris Twing

  #JOTPYLesson from gedco45

  #JOTPYLesson For me, the pandemic has forced me to slow down a bit, and to take more time for myself than I'm used to - when the pandemic began I felt incredibly guilty for taking more than 30 mins for myself to relax with. Now, I'm kind of forced to acknowledge that I deserve to rest or even just have fun every now and then, that I have value when I'm not working. @lordfrogman @amjugan @dankzestykale @kategillis @father_keaton

  As a result of the pandemic I’ve learned about how important my own mental health is and how to better reflect on my own mental state. I don’t think without the pandemic I would have done the necessary reflection that I’ve done over the past year. @jordyn.kw @kazandrakatzorke @__eringuin__ @ellie_bee99 @zanee1
