And like that, we are at the last day of the year! For as many terrible things that happened in 2020, there were equally as many things I was thankful for and proud of accomplishing this year. I wanted to share 20 things I was thankful for in 2020. This list includes both personal and professional accomplishments and proud moments I had throughout the year. Looking back at everything gave me all the feels to end the year on a high note. We all worked hard and survived a global pandemic, we should be proud!
