Grateful 2020!! 

2020 has been full of a lot of unpleasant things, but a consequence of some of those unpleasant things is what I am truly thankful for: time, Lock-down restrictions for months and then my daughter’s online classes have given me more free time than I have had ever had before.

I sometimes find myself wishing that I had more things to fill my time, things that I used to be able to do. I miss traveling,  my daughter misses in-person school and in-person extracurricular, but I can also appreciate all this unfilled time.

I am thankful for more time to spend with my family. We have been able to do a lot of things together that normally would be reserved only for weekends, so I want to appreciate it while I have it.

The Pandemic, along with other natural, economic, social, and political events around us has really been tough on many of us. As I reflect on the year, the word that comes to mind for me is “Being Thankful”.
• I am thankful for being surrounded by wonderful people in my life – both at work, and on the personal front.
• I am also thankful for the job and financial stability we have in tough times like these.
• I am grateful for working at International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) with wonderful Board of Directors and its members across the world.

• With all that’s going around, I’m also thankful for the health almighty has given on me and my family, although there are few temporary health issue/anxieties, which will go with the time and stability across the world.

Take a moment to count your blessings, and reflect on what You are thankful for 2020! If what you are grateful for is a person in your life, take it to the next level and tell them. An unexpected warm email, video call or a text message will brighten their day!
