2020 has been quite a year. For my part, I’m full of gratitude for all that went well—globally and personally. I’m also deeply aware of all that has not gone well on a global scale—literally and metaphorically—for so many people.
And yet, I believe every passing year deserves some sort of recognition, perhaps especially years that are so full of hardship. And so I decided to seek a snapshot from every month of last year. My way of expressing my sincere thanks to 2020 (particularly for that 2020 hindsight) and giving 2021 a hearty welcome.
