Self-reflection of 2020

I think we can all agree that we have experienced a year that we will never forget. The pandemic is still surging, and there is still uncertainty when we will get back to the normal swing of things.

The days when...

-everyone can dine in restaurants at full capacity.

-we can visit friends and family near and far without fear of getting others sick

-we can begin to see everyone's face without face coverings

The good thing is that vaccinations are started to become more and more available. Despite the pandemic, I thought to self reflect on what I was able to accomplish.

Things I've accomplished:

Read over 100 books.

Yes, I really did. It was a mix of nonfiction and fiction books. I read bilingual books and books in completely different languages (Tagalog, Spanish, Korean). I think this is by far the one thing I'm most proud of. It has been years since I even read 20 books in one year.

Seriously began learning Korean

I've been telling myself for years I wanted to learn Korean. I finally started towards the end of the year and am continuing for 2021.

Advanced in my ukelele skills

I am nowhere near being an expert. I have learned more chords and learned to play different songs with fingerpicking. My chucking abilities have also improved.

Became a Certified Autism Specialist

I've been talking about becoming certified since 2017. I finally made it happen last year.

Learned some camping skills

I went camping for the first time and learned how to put up a tent.

Those are the major areas I've improved this year. I've learned there really is a lot of time in the day to get better or learn new things.

It might not seem like a lot, but they are small steps to bigger things in the future. I do my best to just compare myself to my past self. Not to others.

Do you have anything that you have achieved in 2020 that you have felt proud of? .
