During the pandemic and the switch to online remote work, I found myself both enjoying the comforts of home, but also missing certain elements of working at my downtown office. At home, I loved that I could grab a blanket to warm my legs when cold, smell the fresh air through the open windows, step outside to feel the sunshine, or see trees and native plants outside my window. Working from home allowed me to lead a less 'severed' life, and to be more connected to the seasons and natural environment.
