I think, for us, it’s important to note that our space has changed dramatically. Luckily, our finances have not (except for now with my LOA). We have built and finished the barn, we are moving forward with the pool and ... recently bought a boat. I recognize our wealth, our privilege and our situation as being very fortunate. One thing I do think is important and curious to note is that all of these improvements, purchases and changes all are centered on our family and spending more time together as a family!

It's been a rocky year for everyone and I've certainly had my ups and downs, but I think one positive change from the pandemic has been a more open conversation about mental health. It seems more okay to say you're not okay now than ever before in my life. I find it easier to represent what's truly going on with me and easier to understand what's going on with others for this reason. I also feel more aware of my own ups and downs and have more strategies for addressing them (like meditation).
