Life in a box... 2020 WTF?

---

2020 as we all know was a year to remember. I was going to go on and on with a breakdown, but instead I’m gonna focus on the highlights.

The bad:

• I lost my career of 15 years. A job I was great at, was pretty much created for me, and I owned it like no one could.

• My dog of 13 years passed away.

• I lost all my savings.

• We all lost a lot of good people.

• I lost a lot of friends in the process of losing my job.

• I had to fight off depression.

• A handful of personal issues I won’t discuss but we’re dramatic.

• I’m 99% sure I caught the rona and now have Asthma.

The good:

• I started writing again.

• I decided not to sit on my ass and I started my own woodworking company.

• I pursued a personal training certification and it gave me a purpose and education. Although I didn’t complete it for a few reasons. It still kept me busy and I learned.

• I took ownership of my physical fitness and health again.

• I embraced my brokenness, pain, and uniqueness.

• I sought out professional help for my healing.

• I am more myself than I ever have been.

• I protected my family.

• I started a new career.

• I made new friends and was able to touch lives.

• I read 12 books.

• I started hobbies that I never had before.

• I walked 250 miles over the summer.

• I lost weigh and regained my confidence.

Overall 2020 was a shock to the system, but it was a shock I personally needed to make changes in my life that I would have otherwise not taken.

Cheers to a New Year!
