2020 – The Year that Was

Each and every time I sat down to write something - I just could not do it. Nothing in 2020 seemed to click when it came to writing. I would sit down and type out a few sentences in my drafts document and then just stare at it. Then delete it. Maybe it was a level of depression. Maybe it was just not knowing where to begin and how comfortable I would be sharing via a blog.

 This much is true - overall, the year sucked. There is no two ways about it. We lost 3 members of our extended family over the course of the year. I lost my father and my wife lost two grandparents. There was a great deal of small projects and distraction activities, but no amount of sourdough bread and homemade mead fills that void. All that aside, the four of us made out OK physically. No one got sick and we got to spend A LOT of time together, which is one of the bright spots. As a family, we cruised through a bunch of books, movies, tv shows, board games, and video games.  We survived and we were damn lucky to be in a position where our day to day could easily adapt to working from and staying home.  Onward and upward.
