The year that felt like it stood still.
I can't even believe that we're almost to March.
Like, I haven't even processed last March yet.
We are still living in a completely modified manner.
Masks are completely normal.
I don't bring the kids shopping with me unless I have to.
We don't go place "just to go" anymore.
We spend a lot more time at home.
And with me losing my job and Steve's surgery, we spent a LOT of time together.
Time that I can now look back on and be grateful for (except when Steve was in pain - that was bad).
There are a lot of things to be grateful for and a lot of things to look forward to as well.
What I want to do in the year 2021 is slow the fuck down.
Enjoy the little things more.
It's hard when you're literally in the moment and everything is just hard and it sucks.
But my girls are growing up fast and if I don't pay attention, I'll be packing up the trucks to take them away to college and I just can't like...let that happen without really trying my best to be present.
Having my new job will allow me to be more present while still providing for my family.
The flexibility alone will allow me to be a better (more sane), parent.
And halfway through the year 2020 is when I started to take care of ME.
And I plan to continue this for as long as I'm able to.
A healthier, happier me is beneficial for all.
I hope everyone is able to enjoy some downtime. Enjoy their families and look forward to a better year.
That's all we can hope for, right?
