I don’t know about you, but this time of the year is when I do a lot of reflection. I think about what is good, what’s great, and what I would like to change. With all the bad that 2020 has brought, it has made me be even more thankful and intentional when it comes to my life. I’ve been so appreciative of everything I have even with the mix of all of the loss this year has brought. I have lost family members and friends. But through it all, I’ve realized there are so many things to be thankful for and to appreciate the good instead of focusing on the bad. Of course, there are more than fifty things that I am thankful for, but this list is only the beginning.
