What have you learned in 2020?

Finally, we’re at the end of what most are describing as the worst year ever. What have you learned in 2020? and how will what you learned colour how you approach the new year? I think most of us learned that some of the stuff we once considered important is not so important after all. You know what I’m talking about – maybe there’s an expensive outfit hanging in your closet with the tags still on? My point is, sometimes we squander precious resources on unimportant things when we can do much more meaningful things with those same resources if we employed them elsewhere.

Here’s what I learned – time is short!

Time is a valuable resource, one we sometimes take for granted. As I reflect on the last few months I can’t help but notice how fleeting those happy and contented moments were.

The Best Birthday Trip Ever!

I’ve learned that every destination has its own unique charm. A new destination is like a beautifully wrapped present waiting to be opened. The unfamiliar scents and sounds always give me a giddy rush of excitement and anticipation. My recent trip was no different, me and my friend, Lyn, toured from Flagstaff Arizona to the Grand Canyon and through red rock country to beautiful Sedona. The trip was everything and more than I anticipated, in fact, it was the best birthday trip ever!

Pure Bliss!

Our visit to the canyon culminated with a quiet moment of pure bliss as I sat on the south rim overlooking the Duck on a Rock and unwrapped my sandwich. I felt supremely blessed as I sat there munching contentedly while soaking in the spectacular view laid out before me. It was an unseasonably warm November day, cold and windy despite the bright sunshine. Perfect weather for me!
