As the year comes to an end, I was reminiscing some of the day-to-day occurrences that happened in 2020 which reinforced how blessed I am and how many positive things are out there which I need to be grateful about.
- Opening of Video Calls – grateful to be able to reconnect with long lost friends, relatives and family across the globe.
- Monthly Salary Notification SMS – grateful to my employer who looked after my financial well-being even during this challenging economic year.
- Lockdown Movement Permit – grateful for the short window of time when I could go out during the lockdown which made me appreciate freedom of movement that we have always taken for granted.
- Online schooling – grateful to the entire educational system that geared up to ensure that children continued their learning uninterrupted from the safety of their homes.
- Working from home – grateful for the opportunity to contribute to my organization and the economy at large from the safety of my home.
- Negative Covid-19 Report – grateful to the Universe for protection and the learning that sometimes a Negative result could be the most positive news that one could hear.
- Balcony spirit – Clapping & performing music – grateful to all the healthcare providers and emergency responders on the frontline who put their lives on the line to save ours.
- Bonding with family – grateful for the opportunity to spend more time with the family and realizing that we could actually have fun together 😉
- Limitless possibilities – grateful for the understanding that there is an unlimited opportunity to learn new skills online.
- Living in the now – grateful for the life lesson that we don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow – but we have this moment to live life to the fullest.
- Health First – grateful for the realization that the old proverb – “Health is Wealth” that we had learnt in our childhood is the most important truth to live by.
To summarize, 2020 was not the year to get everything you want. It was the year to appreciate everything you have.
