What are some life lessons you learned in 2020?

2020 has reinforced the fact that anything can happen at a moment’s notice. This extraordinary situation has changed our views on health, family, work, resilience, and the community, and it has truly provided the gift of life lessons. The year 2020 has taught me to be more patient and compassionate with myself and others. It has taught me that uncomfortable discussions are required to advance our understanding of one another. It has taught me to focus and enjoy the small things in life that make us smile and laugh. It has taught me that even as an introvert, I am still human, and humans need social connection. On the flip side, it has also taught me that people are just gross!
