How’s your 2020 going?

Looking at my own family’s experience in 2020 I think my clan is okay. My teenage kids kept themselves busy with online summer school, and have been making “play dates” (sorry kids, lol) with their friends and going to walks and bike rides. We now eat almost every dinner together as a family. I’ve been working from home since March and really flourishing with it. I’m much less stressed than I was before, my day starts with a Keurig coffee and walk the dog, then work in a nice, sunny room with my desk setup and stationary bike. I’m working a lot more hours, but I like my work and break it into 2-3 hour chunks with long breaks. I’ve started an app on my iPad called DropIt! and through careful calorie and exercise have dropped from 212 lb to 198 lb, so far. I’ve been riding my bicycle and motorcycle more, the former with my wife and the latter with my biker pals. My relationship with my wife is good too, we walk every afternoon and spend more time on the porch. I am glad my kids don’t look at university until 2021 or later, as that would be stressful for them, I might have recommended a gap year.
We all have sh#tty years. To me, 2018 was worse, both my parents died In their 60s from addiction issues, I got fired from my job, my dog badly broke his leg, one kid needed serious medical intervention, and my basement almost flooded from a collapsed and expensive to repair sewer line. In comparison, 2020 has been a relaxing walk.
Half of Canadians say 2020 has been the worst year of their lives, with younger people more pessimistic: poll
Canada has experienced 121,000 cases of COVID-19 and 9,004 deaths. The U.S. has had 5.15 million cases of COVID-19 and 164,000 deaths.
