Worst Year Ever? Maybe. But, Here Are The Things About 2020 I Hope Never Change

If I’m being honest — I’m not a silver linings kind of girl. And this year was kind of the worst.

But, when I reflect on this year, I can think of a lot of things that I hope stay the same.

I hope people will still stay home when they’re sick.

I’m going to be honest, this change in our society is not a bad thing. Neither is being considerate of others by not spreading your germs to the entire world. Oh — and keep washing those hands.

I hope we don’t stop worrying about social justice issues.

I hope this wasn’t a fleeting thing that fades into the background again. I hope it stays in our minds and hearts and that we make permanent changes because of it.

I hope that we will still remember how much our elderly family members means to us.

I love the elderly, and I love that we have missed them fiercely — because that means they matter. I love that we have valued their lives and cared enough to do the right thing for them.

I hope people will continue to take their right to vote as seriously as they did this year.

No matter what side of the aisle you are on — I hope you care enough to make it to the polls every year and have your voice heard. It’s inspiring, and I hope it stays that way.
