Alone time. Being able to have the house to myself for a few hours while the rest of the family goes on a road trip or out to eat at a restaurant.

Silence. It's really hard to get some when everyone is always home. Neighbours either loudly f*****g or yelling at each other like 24/7, kids running around outside my windows instead being at school, people all around the neighbourhood doing reconstructions of their apartments because they finally have time for it... Silence is the best music there is.

People taking the time out of their day to help others get the food and supplies they need during covid. I know it sounds kind of cliche' and cheesy, but it's the only thing I could think of that was positive.

Sunday dinners. Sunday dinners are a huge deal for my family and we used to get together every Sunday and eat and just hang out and talk.
We didn't have them for over a year and now that most of us are vaccinated and the weather is nicer, we can have Sunday dinners again (mostly outdoors) or in an indoor/outdoor space. It wonderful to be able to get together with my brothers and SILs and their hell spawn and get caught up.

This might sound self-centered but my ability to be alone and self-sufficient for lengthy periods of time.
I do however appreciate having my job all through the pandemic. I've seen many co-workers in debt because they were laid-off or had reduced salaries.

This may sound dumb but I really appreciate weekends now. Before everyday ran together. There were no designated rest days. It was work when you can, rest when your done. Now that I’ve gotten back to school I can really appreciate coming home on a Friday afternoon and enjoy it.

Delivery people!
I've got no car and my bike broke down during the first lockdown, and if it wouldn't be for delivering services I pretty much would've starved out. I had not way to do my groceries without paying a real elevated price for and Uber/taxi ride, but delivering fees are much lower.

Everytime I've got delivered something to my house I make sure I thank properly to the delivering guys and offer them some water or a treat.

My container garden. Having lots of plants (indoors and outdoors) have been a lifesaver for my mental health, both to keep me from going crazy with boredom and because having lots of greenery is very relaxing. Not that I took it for granted before, but nowadays I just appreciate it that much more.
