1. Dinnertime. For several months when everything was locked down we had dinner as a family every night.
2. Puzzles- I completed at lease 15 puzzles.
3. Books- I read 10 books. I had forgotten how much I loved to read.
4. Family Zoom Calls- We may not have been able to be together in person, but zoom was the next best thing.
5. Fires- specifically fire pits and bonfires. If it is safer to be outside, outside is where we will gather.
6. Hamilton on Disney+. I love it more every time I watch it.
7. I am not as busy at home. Board meetings are via zoom. Fewer afterschool activities.
8. I found the coolest yellow couch.
9. My immediate family has been in good health. Living through a pandemic really makes one realize what a gift good health is.
10. Learning to let some things go.
11. Appreciation for a family that holds the same values as I do.
12. Greater appreciation for my friends.
13. Curbside Pickup. Seriously- can we keep this forever.
14. Family walks. We started to take more walks as a family.
15. I actually did several of my New Year's resolutions. - got rid of my storage unit, made lots of banana bread, found a casserole to share, read more, organized the house.
16. I started baking cookies again. I might have made the most amazing Snickerdoodles ever.
17. Admiration, Respect and Love for my children's teachers. 2020 has really shown us how much a good teacher can impact a child.
18. Comedy- Memes, TikTok videos, cartoons, and everything else that makes me laugh. I think everyone being stuck at home has made most of us realize that we need to lighten up and not take ourselves so seriously all the time.
19. New cat- White Tummy. Although Milquetoast is not very grateful for this one.
20. Love. I feel truly loved by my family and my friends.
