I have spent way too much time thinking about this, but here's my list of 20 Things I'm Taking With Me From 2020. What would you add?
- Never take anything for granted
- (After Covid) Take the trip, have dinner with your friends, say "yes" to the parties and opportunities, for you never know when those opportunities will be gone
- Everything can change in an instant. Being willing to accept, adapt, and move forward is a life skill.
- There are pros and cons to everything. Literally everything.
- Ending racism is the job of white people. We must get educated and fight to end racism. Every. Single. Day.
- Often it's the little things that bring the greatest joy.
- Slowing down, clearing the calendar, having time to just BE is a blessing.
- Showing up to vote and preserve Democracy is essential.
- Regardless of age, learning and trying new skills/things is a wonderful pursuit.
- Finding and building a community, even (especially) during a pandemic is possible and important
- Instead of placing great meaning into "why is this happening," simply accepting "what is" is very healing.
- Getting outside every day is therapy
- Reconnecting with old friends is also therapy
- Laughter is good medicine
- Not believing everything you read and see is an important skill
- Letting go of perfection and the idea that "busy" is "better"
- Education doesn't have to be done inside a school building
- As always, women are saving the world- from nurses to teachers to moms, we are the ones keeping the world going, and also like always, not getting paid (or getting paid pittance) for it
- Working together as a collective whole makes us far stronger than only looking after our own selfish interests
- The Broncos may never have a winning season again
