On a normal given day, I’d be all happy and jolly to welcome the New Year. It always signifies big major changes on my end. I’d have my resolutions, typical goals list to tackle, a lot of ideas to explore and try …
Not this year. I am tired.
2020 was absolutely exhausting. Honestly, I had to step away from the online world here and there because life simply happened. There were days where I had to question myself more than necessary. All because everything is becoming so stagnant, repetitive, unhealthy, isolating, disturbing, and overwhelming.
What about 2021? What exactly are we celebrating right now? Because it can’t be about this Pandemic. It is still ongoing. There’s no sign that it will get better any day or so. It’s basically just walking into a whole new year with a different date … but the same old drama. For us, we are grateful to see another day. To have been fortunate enough to stay healthy.
We thought 2020 would bring about a lot of the things that we wanted. Little did we know, it was actually the year where we learned to appreciate everything that we still have.
What about you guys? How is everything on your end?

January 6, 20212020 was absolute crazy pants, and it’s still not over! 2021 has started off on a crazy note, as well. But we’re still doing well over here.

January 6, 2021Things have not been the same since the pandemic hit the country… The world has lost many people. We should just appreciate and cherish what we have now and hope for a lasting solution to the virus.

January 6, 2021I love that last part. This year taught us to appreciate what we still have. It’s very true! I just wish that lesson didn’t take all year to learn. 😉

January 6, 2021Great post for a little life reflection! I am actually celebrating my happiness and thankfulness that despite this pandemic going on, me and my family are safe and healthy, and that, we didn’t lose our jobs which we really need in this point of time. I’m grateful that I’m able to do the things I love to do right now.

January 7, 2021The year 2020 has taught me to be more patient and compassionate with myself and others. And 2021 is like just another calendar year and we were all getting used to writing 01.01.2021 instead of 01.01.20.

January 7, 2021I think despite the challenges this year, we should still be grateful for our safety and small blessings coming in. It has been really tough but we will all make it. Stay safe!

January 7, 2021I am sorry that you see things this way. But I can say that 2020 was a very hard year, but there happened a lot of beautiful things too. We moved in another place, but we are all ok and my kid feel better in the new school and found new friends. I am grateful for that!

January 7, 2021I feel you! 2020 was one exhausting year and still dragging… But, as long as we are alive, healthy, and our families are safe, that’s something to celebrate. We always have to look on the brighter side, no matter how dark it feels sometimes.

January 7, 2021I’m not sure what I’m celebrating. I guess that we have done a great job being cooped up in the house all together and we all get along really good without much arguing and fighting, even among my four kids.

January 7, 2021I feel like 2020 was a good year to catch up on all the things we didn’t have time for. I did a lot of projects and house projects that I would never have had the time for.

January 7, 2021I can understand how you feel. I am honesty placing all my bets on the covid vaccine. Until it gets mass distributed, I think things might be like this for the time being. That being said, there’s always a bright side – we get to spend more time with close loved ones. 🙂

January 11, 2021Although the year comes with several challenges. However, there’s the need to be grateful for the people and things we have in our lives.
2020 taught us great lessons. We should look forward to positivity in 2021.
