Our Year in Review: Remembering 2020

What a turn of a decade it has been! When the year started, nobody could have seen what would befall us all. Plans were halted. For some, loved ones bid them goodbye forever. Others welcomed a new life. 

Our movements were constricted. The future looked bleak. Businesses face bankruptcy. Many lose their jobs or fear they would one day do. Fear and worry hovered day and night. It was a year unlike any other.

I've been publishing 'years in review' over the years, but wow, 2020 is a peculiarity. Does it inaugurate a new era? We shall see in the coming days.

For this post, I'll be memorializing our year's highlights. Of course, you don't have to endure reading this. It's for our family entertainment (or for me to look back to in the years to come).

October

Who would have thought a 'grammatically-incompetent', 'spelling-challenged' person like me could write? Well, anybody could improve in anything through diligence and hard work.

Though my brain is infested with thick layers of cobwebs acquired through years of sedentary existence, still, I pursued advancement to improve my writing. Here's my entry for #COMPELplatformchallenge Why I Write?

November

My old boss contacted me for a part-time work opportunity. Yay! I love having my own income because I like to travel (of course, not now) and shop. ;)

December

Back to work. I face a new challenge now. How do I balance my time with family, home responsibilities, writing and reading, and work?

How did the year 2020 went for you?

Lest I forget. I wish you and your loved ones an Expected New Year!

You have an awesome last weekend of 2020 then.
