# Thank You 2020 – a year that made me even stronger

For some years now, I start my year with[ **word of year **](https://thoughtsbygeethica.com/2019/01/word-of-the-year-2019-focus/)and end with [**gratitude**](https://thoughtsbygeethica.com/2019/12/thankful-for-the-year-2019-achievements-downfall-getting-up-again/) towards the year gone by. After **[6 months into the new year](https://thoughtsbygeethica.com/2019/06/six-months-2019-feeling-powerful/),** it is interesting to check where I am heading towards? Is it making me stronger or am I shifting away from my focus? This time too, I am saying **Thank You 2020 - a year that made me even stronger.**

Thank you is a word that brings in warmth and positivity towards anybody anything. This year too I feel gratitude towards many people and things around that made me wise.

## Thank You 2020 for a family that eats together and sleeps together

In the initial months, I heard so many people around facing depression because of loneliness and incapability to go out and meet their loved ones. This made me realize that I am **thankful to be living with my family.** We all live together, eat and sleep together. We even cry together that makes us smile once again. Elders support you and you, in turn, support your children. So on this love chain keeps ongoing.

## Work keeps you engaged

I am **thankful **that all through the year** I was busy working** and it kept me off the negativity that spreads like fire around. The beauty of work is that at times, it may be tiring but you can finish it mechanically without getting attached to it. During festivals when I was on fast I worked and finished many of the clerical work that needed less of mind work and more of technicality.

**Work helps you to destress **from all univited argruements around on random topics.

## Enjoy the difference between workdays and weekends

Earlier I used to work at any time of the day because I am working from home. But slowly, I realized that I was missing on that fun element and work was becoming a burden. Then I followed [Suchita](https://talesofsuchita.wordpress.com/)'s mantra who finishes all work by Friday night and keeps weekends for herself (except the exceptional)

I tried the same pattern and believe me, it's **truly rewarding**. Now I watch movies on OTT platforms with my family. We enjoy popcorns with juices in between the self-made intervals and weekends become a fun time to look forward to.

## Your peaceful heart has more to say

I am **thankful for a peaceful mind** for maximum days of my life. I am able to **meditate **for a few seconds every day, **listen to audiobooks** while I morning walk and **read holistic books** before bedtime. Life is good so far and will be more sorted in the coming years.

A peaceful mind is one characteristic that keeps you going even in trying times. I feel much closer to God. I feel the** strength to overcome bad times** and **enjoy happy times** wholeheartedly.

## Write less but leave an impact

I may not be writing every day but have stopped comparing myself to other people's profession. Chasing other's dream in course of finding my own goal will leave you nowhere.

## Thank You 2020

Today, I feel **satisfied with whatever little I write **because that content is authentic and well researched. It contains anecdotes and targets a particular set of audience.

I have found solace in what I am doing currently. Surprises are always welcomed and I am open to new opportunities in 2021. How about you?
