I know that 2020 has basically been a year that we all wish we could speed past, and forget. There have been so many terrible or tragic things that have happened this year, but I hate to think that the entire year has been bad. For me, even though this has been a very trying year, and we still have three more months left in the year, there have been some really good things that have come out of this year. I am trying my best to focus on the positives of this year, and not how crappy it has been otherwise.
One good thing that has happened this year is being able to spend more time with my husband. Even though his hours were cut and was even furloughed at one point, causing us to lose out on a large bit of our income, we were able to spend precious time together. This is something that we both have enjoyed because before COVID, he was constantly having to work overtime and I would maybe see him for an hour or two and day and that was it. Even though our lives are becoming a bit busier and our work schedules are different at the moment, we have learned how valuable it is to spend those few hours we do get to see each other, wisely.
Another good thing that has happened this year, I got two new job titles! While, yes, I do technically work two jobs, it's really not that bad! I have the flexibility to work from home during the week and then on the weekends I go into my other job and get to interact with people I never would have met otherwise. It has brought on new friendships, great business partnerships, and a drive/determination that I haven't felt in years!
Even with this global pandemic, my family has been able to safely vacation together this year, and we had a great time. Everyone in the small beach community was so thoughtful and kept their distance so that everyone could enjoy their vacations. We were able to spend time together and see each other for a week, and relax! We had a great time and it was a very memorable family trip!
There have been other good things to come out of this year, but these are some of the best things that have happened this year! I want to continue to look for the good in my life this year and not focus on all of the negativity that is going on around me. This isn't always easy for me, as I can tend to be a bit more pessimistic than optimistic, but I am trying to change how I view things in my life! I am choosing to focus more on being happy than everything bad that has happened.
