Welcome to 2021. How will you fill those empty pages of your new calendar? What are your hopes and dreams for a new year? If you had answered those same questions at the beginning of 2020, how would you have answered them?
2020 has been described in many terms ranging from apocalyptic to wreck. As December came to a close, it seemed to be a topic for popular publications to ask of readers. An article in the Washington Post reported the top three words as exhausting, lost, and chaotic. Australia’s Guardian readers also used the word exhausting as a top word along with challenging and surreal. According to most people, it was an unprecedented year. To many, it was a dumpster fire. Yet there was good to come of it and it wasn’t all bad as readers shared words such as resilient, transformative, and perseverance. Perhaps you can relate to the phrase, “six feet apart but never closer,” and “Daily search for little wins.” If we take the time for reflection, we may realize that we changed in positive ways as we experienced life in unexpected and extremely different ways. As you look forward, what are the lessons you learned from 2020 that you will bring with you as you enter 2021? What are the things you missed most in 2020 that are at the top of your to-do wish list? What dreams and goals can you control despite external occurrences?
