Recently, a dear friend of mine posted something rather grim on her timeline on
Facebook about not being able to see anything positive about 2020.
Now, we all know that 2020 has been not a simple dumpster fire, but a
whole nuclear fallout. It’s so easy to focus on all the scary
stuff that’s happened this year, losing sight that there’s been –
even if it’s minor – some good things that have happened, as
well. I’m just as guilty of doing this, but a post on a page I
follow on the same social media platform made me pause and examine
what good things have
happened this year? Taking stock in the events in my personal
experiences this year, I’ve noticed several things, in fact, have
happened that have been quite wonderful.
Reader, I know this year has been tremendously hard on all of us, some of us are struggling harder than others, but I tell you the truth: there are still things to be thankful for, you just have to take a step back, pause, and take a look at the whole picture, not just the grim news that constantly floods our newsfeeds on social media, our e-mail, and even on the telly. I know it’s hard to find anything good happening in the midst of all the fear and chaos, but I promise you with every cell of my being that there are good things, absolutely, still happening.
That being said, my challenge for you is this: take some time and look over this year and not just see, but acknowledge and thank God, for all the good things, no matter how big or small, nothing positive is too insignificant to be grateful for that’s happened for you. I’d love to hear what good things have happened for you this year!
Here are my positives of 2020, in no specific order:
