Answer:
Last year at this time, it’s doubtful any of us would have readily agreed to all the challenges that the new year, 2020, would bring. We’ve been confronted with creating and adapting to new ways of learning, working and living our lives amid stressors that we have never experienced before. But for all the hardship the new year ushered in, 2020 has also provided a unique opportunity to reflect. Its lessons are many. Here are a few that rise to the surface for me.
Resilience. The human spirit is capable of withstanding an incredible amount of stress. This year hasn’t been easy for anyone. Large segments of the economy have been decimated and lives have been lost on a massive scale. And even for those of us fortunate enough to have our health and the privilege of a stable job, our lives and routines have been completely upended. We miss face-to-face interactions, parties, celebrations, sports, concerts, performances and countless other social events where we’d mix with crowds large and small without worrying about whether doing so could expose us or our more vulnerable loved ones to an often deadly virus. But in large part, we’ve adjusted. We’ve adapted and we will emerge with a far greater appreciation for a way of life that can be easily taken for granted. Maybe we’ll be less likely to take it for granted in the future. Explanation: i feel like i want to die
