While there are Negative Nancy’s everywhere, on so many levels I thought 2020 was one of the best years of my life. 😀

While COVID closed some doors, it opened many others – remote work was a lot of fun especially in the summer months. While interest rates have been in the shitter, the markets were outstanding at least on paper. My work while busy throughout the year, also was varied and quite interesting. I learned a lot of new skills, especially at using Microsoft Excel and Census Bureau stasticals data and did some quality work. And while I messed up some things, I also learned how to be better and more effective leader, and more thoughtful to boot. I taught myself new mapping and data management skills, and are so fascinated by what I discovered with 3D Mapping and georeferencing data..

I didn’t really have a choice to live through or not when it came to 2020. Kind of like that congested area, you have to get through it to get out to countryside. But I think I am heck of a lot better off and my future much brighter thanks to the many changes and lessons learned during the year that came and went much too quickly. I look forward to all the adventures that are coming in the second year of decade, both good and bad.
