As we close 2020, and I enjoy my tea, I cannot help but think back on the year. Without a doubt it has been a roller coaster of a year for all of us. I made decisions I would never think I would make and was faced with medical challenges I never thought could possibly happen to me. However, we endeared. So today, I will share what I learned in 2020.
20 things I learned in 2020
- You are not always in control
- Family first, always.
- Tough times shows true colors in every aspect… friends, jobs, relationships and even family.
- It is OK to breakdown, cry for 15 minutes, but you must get back up.
- Mind your health- you can have everything in the world, but without good health, you won’t enjoy any of it.
- Don’t sweat the small, petty things
- Value your mental strength
- See the lesson in each challenge faced
- Be open to all opportunities, be ready to take action
- Be grateful for all experiences, both good and bad
- LOVE, simply love
- Trust that everything will be OK, even if it’s not.
- Actions and inactions speak loader than words
- Living simply and mindfully is not overrated
- We are self sufficient in many ways
- Jerks turned into bigger jerks and the kind became kinder. Appreciate the kind
- We choose to be happy
- Learn to say no- set boundaries
- Be gentler, smile more- it is felt over the phone and is seen through masks. We are all facing our own battles, a kind word or a simple smile can change someone’s day.
- Sometimes we need to revisit our goals & redirect our plans to revitalize our spirit.
Oh and for fun sake, one more, since we are going into 2021...
- Technology kicks ass… and so do we and our kids (NOW!!!!)
From my family to yours, we wish you the very best 2021. May it be a year of great health, plenty of laughs, filled with tons of love and may you enjoy every single moment of it…
With love,
Brenda
