RALEIGH –
2020 has been a wild ride. Between flashes of fear, anxiety, and grief, there have been so many days where everything just felt the same. It is easy to look back at these past twelve months and see how many things went wrong, how much we have been through or gotten stuck in together and how we want next year to be different.
However, as an exercise in gratitude and positive thinking, I’m choosing to look at some happy things instead: the people, products, companies, and causes that brought me joy and helped to keep me centered in this year of unprecedented struggle. I encourage you to do the same. What’s your personal best-of list for 2020? What inspired you? What delighted you? What kept you moving forward?
