All the positive things that happened in 2020
It’s all too easy to focus on the negatives, let’s take a moment to reflect on the most amazing community moments
We are all too keen to write off 2020 as the worst year of our lives, but it is important to remember that lots of positives have come out of a negative situation too. This year has thrown a curveball for some, been difficult for others and grief-stricken for many.
Whilst it is easy to focus on the bad, it’s incredibly important to devote time to remember the good.
So if you find yourself closing 2020 with a negative outlook, it’t time to take a hot minute to look back at the amazing things people have achieved in adversity.
