Writing this column as one year ends and a new year begins, I started to wonder about what I hoped to see and experience in the coming months. Although a new year always brings us both possibilities and pitfalls, I prefer to focus on the positives as long as I can.
So, here are 20 words that represent things I hope I will witness in 2020. Importantly, these words do not have to apply directly to me—when I include appreciation on the list, I’d be very happy to see someone else’s hard work be appreciated and rewarded. In fact, none of these words can happen alone—each will involve aspects of to give and to receive. I’ll do my best to bring these words alive, but I’m going to need help along the way, too.
