5 things to be thankful for in 2020

Of course there are things to be thankful for this year. The last thing we want is to sound cheesy in times that are truly difficult for people all around the world. This year has not been a joyride. A challenge of this proportion has affected the economy, jobs, traveling, education, big and small businesses, our needs, and freedom. What we are saying is that it’s so much healthier to focus on finding positive aspects in everything surrounding us, and seeing what good have these bad times brought along.

We’re sure that once you think about it, you’ll have more than 5 things on your list, but here are some thoughts that this Thanksgiving has brought along for us

  • We actually don’t need all the things that we buy. Being stuck at home has shown that if we don’t have that much access to it, we don’t really need it. We should be grateful for the small things in life, for the basics that keep us going, and that so often we take for granted.

  • Nature is the best! Really, we can make days pass in many different ways, but at one point, the revelation will come. We can’t last very long without being out in nature. And once we understand this, we’ll be grateful for each walk in the park, sunshine, and bird chirping.

  • Health is so important and we tend to neglect it by making poor eating choices, by lack of exercise, lack of sleep, and unnecessary worry. A little more loving for our own body and spirit wouldn’t hurt at all, on the contrary. So let’s be grateful for our health and start with (small) changes in our lifestyle that can (or will) at some point make a life and death difference.  Also, you got to admit that we rediscovered the cooks in us all. Cooking our own food is wonderful for the mind and body. 🙂

  • Kindness is essential in the human race surviving any challenge. We could have said “love”, but maybe that’s too much for some of us. We don’t have to love everybody, but we could be kind to them. We should be. With so much suffering around us this year, we’ve realized that pretty much everything fails when it comes to real danger. Everything except kindness and the desire to do good. We should all be thankful for this great gift to the world.

  • Tough times often bring out the best in us. This time, we’ve had the time (yes, we did) to think upon our lives, who we are and what we want, what makes us happy, and who makes us happy. Who truly matters to us, who we want to call first thing in the morning just to make sure they’re ok. In the end, it all comes down to a few close people, family and friends.

Here’s one more thing we’re thankful for. Being able to keep in touch with our loved ones so easily these days. We may be apart and we know it’s for the best, but we’re one phone call away from hearing their voices.
