2020 revealed who we were. Our strengths, fears, health and resolve. I dare say we all lost someone in 2020, found out who we were and either will be proud of that or ashamed, but 2021 is here and life goes on and the choice is ours whether we live it or it passes us by.

Good morning Thom. 2020 was not a good or bad year for me. I had the advantage of retirement allowing me to shelter in place. 2021 will likely be a better year, but it is too early to tell. Enjoy your day!

Hello Thom - Yes,  It was a moment in time.  And I have discovered(and continue to discover) that moments matter.

Thanks for sharing this letter and your own thoughts on 2020.  It definitely took a personal toll on me and continues to daily.  That said, real estate was my refuge.  I had the best year of my career too.

Best to just take our new reality day by day, or in some cases, hour by hour.

I think we all learned some things about ourselves in 2020. For me, it was that I could endure long stretches of isolation and be quite content.  This is because I know how to stay connected and busy even without that in-person contact.  I think we're all itching for the opportunities to reconnect in-person but in the meantime, we have to figure out how to deal with it all and keep our sanity.

Hi Thom- first of all, I'm glad that you had your partner while you were going through all of this. I have been concerned about those who are on their own and live in states that were totally locked down. 

I'm grateful that we were not as locked down as other areas. And it's interesting but I've been doing a lot of reflecting this week on where I was a year ago and all of the different adjustments we've had to make.
