-Charity surrounding covid-19 or 'community spirit". I enjoyed helping my oldest neighbours with their grocery shopping, or working with a local charity to cook food for poor people.

-Lockdown: I know that's a bit controversial to say so, but this year was going to be extremely busy and even though nice things were planned, it was a lot. I've been doing too many things for so many years, and this year has helped me calm down, take my time, stay home, prepare my wedding etc

-Not wearing any suits. And that my friends is so magical. I don't even do video meetings, only with the sound on

-No office secret santa or office summer parties or whatever bull$hit it is. I don't like those.

-I am the only one in my family and friends circle that got to celebrate a proper birthday back in January when I turned 30.
Since then, it's been awkward Skype parties.

-Rediscovering local places in my region and country. I like to travel far but travelling (or more like visiting) for a certain time in my own country has been nice too. My beautiful Provence where I live, but also Paris, Brittany etc

-And appreciating what I have in life. I thought 2020 was going to be a big milestone in my life where I got a lot of what I asked for. Now I know 2020 is the year I appreciate everything I have.

I would struggle with 10 as I've hated this year but without it I would never have spent as much time with my son.....We've had fun and made lockdown memories including a time capsule for him to show his kids in years to come

Time with family, especially very close family, is always looked past because we all have busy lives and we take it for granted because it's "natural".
But in the end, it's quality time that is sometimes missing and I'm very happy for you for sharing these moments with your son. I know I have with my husband and my parents (when I could visit them, or even via Skype).
It doesn't always have to be something big, but small simple moments can change a lot, like taking your time to drink a cup of tea outside etc.
And that I appreciate a lot.
