The Best Thing That’s Happened to Me In 2020

2020 is certainly a year for the history books. No one saw a pandemic breaking out, or that as a result most countries would essentially shut down in order to keep people at home so that the virus would not spread, and less people would become infected and potentially die. We had no idea when we rang in the decade that it our happy cheers and optimism would peter out only a mere three months later.

I remember my Twitter feed filled with excited tweets about how amazing people wanted to make 2020, how excited we were about being in a new decade. I don’t know what any of us thought the year would hold, but it wasn’t this. In fact, earlier today I joked that Mercury must be in a perpetual, never ending retrograde because this year is just…nuts about sums it up.

It’s easy to focus on the stressful, crazy things happening in the world right now. It’s easy to shake our heads and think, what are we coming to? Because let’s face it, nothing makes much sense right now, and we have no idea if anything will ever again be the way it was before this pandemic broke out.

It is however, important to remember that not everything happening is awful. Babies are being born. People are demonstrating great kindness towards others. Communities are pulling together in unexpected ways. Even though we are isolated and being physically distant from one another, people have found ways to continue to connect with family and friends, and I personally have found that a lot of what has happened during Covid-19 to be inspiring. So today I wanted to take time to tell you about the best thing that has happened to me in 2020 and ask you to reflect on the year yourself.

Becoming A Writer

So what is the best thing that has happened to me in 2020? I have a become a writer. I don’t have a book published, I am not writing a book, but I am a writer again for the first time in several years. Writing has always been a passion of mine, in fact I wanted to be a writer when I was eleven years old and although I gave up that dream and lived inauthentically, I was always writing. Until I wasn’t and when I wasn’t writing, that’s when anxiety really got the best of me. It took me most of my thirties to really understand that I need to be creative. I have many ways to express and explore my creativity, but writing seems to be the one that is the most powerful for me. And in creating this blog, I truly returned to writing in a way that I never have before.

Creating this blog also helped me realize something. There is a story brewing in me, and I need to write it. Or, at least explore it. I hope to soon begin to start writing creatively again. I may never be a published author, but at least I will be a writer.

The idea of beginning to write again is so scary! And to be honest, I think that’s why I haven’t been writing. Several years ago I really threw myself into writing and my craft was becoming more polished, and I stopped writing slowly because I was so busy at work, and stressed by work and had such fatigue and brain fog. And my craft got rusty, and I could feel that every time I sat down to write. But, my writing will never improve if I don’t practice my craft, so I intend to start again and face that fear and disappointment in myself head on.

The best thing that has happened to me in 2020 is deciding to really embrace blogging and writing. I hope to be doing a lot more of both as the year goes on, and to share that part of my journey with you.

Today has been a wonderful, quiet day—after all the cleaning was done that is. I cherish quiet days. It’s nice to just melt into them and enjoy the sense of peace that comes with them. I love to read, or crochet on quiet days, or watch the baby as he plays. Who else loves quiet days? #tidbitsofcare #peacefulday #selfcaresunday🌸 #quietdayathome #lifestyleblogger #blog #selfcareblog #timetoreflect🙏
I really want to see green things and flowers again. We had a mild winter until March hit, then snow and wind and rain. I know it’ll be a while till I see green and springs blooms, but who says I can’t indulge in spring like things? Or delight in the longer days? It’s spring in my mind today. When life gets too blah, your imagination can really lift your spirits! Do you imagine warmer days, upcoming vacations or yummy dinners? #tidbitsofcare #selfcareblog #bloggerlife #springiscoming #spring2023☀️ #springtime🌸 #lifestyleblogger
Yesterday I ran errands and did some housework but I also got on me time and got my nails done. I’ve been doing more light, neutral shades lately. They just feel more me and more elegant. But if I’m in the mood, I splash into colour too! It’s all about just being myself. Because it’s okay to just be me ☺️ #tidbitsofcare #personalgrowth #selflove #selflovemoments #blogger #lifestyleblogging #bloggers #selfcareblog #bloggerlife #bloggerstyle
Life needs living. But each moment doesn’t have to be a blur. Take time to just be. It’s easier than you think! #tidbitsofcare #selfcareblog #personalgrowth #bloggers #blogging #blogs #bloggerlifesyle #bloggingcommunity #mindfulness #mindfulmonday #mindfulnessmoments
I try to live my best life everyday; be the best mama I can be, but also enjoy the little things, like these.

      I love writing! I’m hoping one day I can have my own book published. I find writing to help me when I feel nervous, sad or need to organise my thoughts. Creating my blog has been a big help too and It’s one of the good things to come from 2020.
      Your blog is lovely and I’m glad you’ve embraced it and you are writing again. I hope 2020 continues to be filled with your writing and blogging and that you continue to enjoy it and it helps with your anxiety x

      Love this! The best thing to have happened to me during this time has also been my writing/blog. I was so, so, inconsistent for so long, and then Covid19 happened and I suddenly had all this time. So I poured my soul into my writing, and now these past two months my following and views have increased an insane amount! 🙂

      I love that you have been enjoying writing so much! I think writing is one of the things that best helps me work through anxiety and conflicting thoughts, especially since I have so much to think about right now. 🙂

        Writing is such a way to connect to your soul and just get yourself and be yourself I think. Your writing is beautiful.

      The best thing that has ever happened to me this year is finding myself. I’ve gone through difficult changes and I’m glad I did. I like blogging, I like sharing my knowledge with the world and I’m glad I’m able to do that with my blog.
