If things stayed the same for you, you are a very lucky person. To the many of you like me, your world may have completely changed. For the better or for the worse. Whether it was a career growth, loss, or major/minor transition in the way we work I am certain it has been affected in some shape or form.
To the many parents who had to juggle trying to support a minor with online studies while trying to work a steady job (impossible) without a private tutor or in-home parent proctor, you did the best you can when faced with these near-impossible tasks. Including those two working parent homes that required one to quit or the single-parent homes that have had to rely on friends, family, or make certain sacrifices.
To the teachers who have been pushed to do more than their pay grade, stayed in their profession, have been understanding, supporting parents, and allowing the children to make up on weekends (when parents were actually available to assist) kudos!
To the First Responders around the world who continue to put their life at risk each and every day, God Bless You!
To relationships that ended in 2020, cheers to a new beginning. To the ones that rekindled, cheers to a new bond. To new loves, congratulations! ?
2020 was the beginning of a (much needed) snowball effect. I am making really BIG decisions this year that will impact me for the rest of my life! But doing so rather cautiously…
