Way to go on your accomplishments. The 2 things I accomplished this year was starting a podcast followed by starting a youtube channel. I also went on vacation to see the kids this year but that was already planned. we were just lucky to get to go with everything going on

I clicked on this post fast. I am soo happy to be reading about something positive in 2020. This year has definitely allowed me to slow down and work on some things I  kind of put on  the back burner for a while.

I have been working from home, full time since the middle of January. This has allowed me to be uber organized. It has given me time back normally wasted on commutes, work interruptions, showers, clothes choices/cleaning. I have managed to finish off two large projects: I added a four hundred square foot flagstone patio (approximately) and more than doubled the size of my newly expanded waterfall. I have done more things around the house which has made relations with my wife better. I have discovered additional streams of income. I have been reading thirty minutes a day, learning two foreign languages for thirty minutes a day, and working out an hour every day. I have trained my one year old retreiver and felt good enough about it to get him a playmate that I am currently training. I wash my hands(and sanitize more), do not have dishes in my sink or over flowing laundry.


First of all, a personal question.  How old are you?  And my next comment is, whatever you are on, I want some of it too.  What an energy level!  Makes me tired just reading it.  I think I'll lie down on my couch again!

2020 was and is very stressful and I guess the positive side is most of us are healthy and alive, thank God.

I sharpened up my overall confidence.  I was always isolated but being forced to be inside made me really examine myself.

Congrats on all your achievements and thank you for this post; I think sometimes we get too consumed with the unfavorable.

I have been working from home, full time since the middle of January. This has allowed me to be uber organized. It has given me time back normally wasted on commutes, work interruptions, showers, clothes choices/cleaning. I have managed to finish off two large projects: I added a four hundred square foot flagstone patio (approximately) and more than doubled the size of my newly expanded waterfall. I have done more things around the house which has made relations with my wife better. I have discovered additional streams of income. I have been reading thirty minutes a day, learning two foreign languages for thirty minutes a day, and working out an hour every day.

That's amazing- congrats!!!

I paid off my car loan and one of my student loans. So I can officially state that I am going to close out the year 2020 with only one student loan remaining!

I agree, and Cathy I hope peace finds you soon.

Good for you.  This has been the worst year of my life.  First this virus that has caused me to lose a very dear friend.  Then the death of my 4 year old grandson.  So as you can see it has not been a good year for me.
Cathy to lose 2 special people,especially a 4 yr grandson,it wouldnt matter what yr it was.Even tho no doubt 2020 has been quite trying.Im afraid it will only get worse till God steps in.

There is a hope in the bible Jesus spoke about RE a resurrection in the NEW world where Gods kingdom will be the earthly government.I hope you and I are there and can welcome back many loved ones that have passed.

I think a lot of people needed the break more than they realized; so many people were able to get organized, healthy, and reconnected.  I work from home anyway so it was no different for me, but I still empathize.

Taking a good long break from work.

Good for you.  I paid off some things with the money I would have used for traveling.
