20 Takeaways from 2020
As 2020 comes to a close, I can’t help but reflect on the year we’ve had. Through any hardships this year, I hope you found the positives. The only thing I can thank 2020 for is for forcing us to take a step back and look at life with a new perspective. I put together this list of takeaways from 2020 to document this crazy year…
- We are physically, mentally, and emotionally strong. You can do anything!
- Time is precious. Time with loved ones, time in the office or school, time at the gym…
- The little things in life are big things. Like toilet paper.
- Time with family and friends should never be taken for granted. Tell people that you love them and do things for others when you can.
- Supporting small businesses is important. Every like, comment, share, order, or appointment is greatly appreciated. Support local and shop small!
- It’s good to have a hobby. Find things that make you happy!
- Home projects can be fun. Especially when the whole family is involved!
- Call your loved ones. Even just to check in or say “hi”.
- Banana bread is easier to make than we thought. Were you even in 2020 if you didn’t bake for fun?
- What did we do before Facetime and Zoom? Thank goodness for technology.
- Take lots and lots of photos. Schedule with Elaine Gates Photography to capture monumental memories this year!
- Going on a walk outdoors is medicine.
- Always be kind. Being mean doesn’t get you anywhere.
- Invest in a comfy couch, blankets, and pajamas. “Home sweet home” had a whole new meaning this year!
- When you can travel, travel. Adventures and life-long memories are priceless.
- Quality time is the best time. Put the phones away and be present.
- Be creative. Anything can happen with a little imagination.
- It’s good to give yourself a break. You deserve it.
- It’s not about what you have in life, but who you have by your side.
- There’s always something to look forward to!
Be good to us, 2021.
