It seems as if I’m not alone in having high hopes for the year 2020! Despite the exciting plans I had in store, I just felt like 2020 would be amazing! Mostly because 2020 just has a nice ring to it! We were all entering the year with 2020 vision! Man, has that vision gotten blurrier by the month; and it’s only April!! It is hard to quite sum up the feelings brought about by this year, many of us are just ready for 2021. But we all know we can’t get off that easy. We have to continue to ride this year out, and be hopeful that the year can still end on a much higher note than it began! A lot of us may experience hardships and losses during this time, but what most of us will gain is hopefully more strength, meaning, reflection, and mindfulness. I liked this blog (link below) in regard to this pandemic. There’s so much information that can be a lot to process or just too many facts that only increase anxiety. I liked this blog’s simplicity and validation of what we feel during this time.

The second link is another article that validates the grief that we feel. Also, another more simplistic and validating read!

Remember, change is constant, and in times like these we yearn for change more than we ever do! Take things day by day, you will get through this, you will be okay, and 2020 still has some potential! :)
