HindSightings: Looking Back at 2020 and Forward to Everything Ahead — A Brief (But Wordy) Introduction

This idea started with a timely captured picture of the sunset on my drive home from work. It was inescapable. The sky was clear and the sun still bright before turning orange as it would begin to touch the horizon.

That captured image led to a thought about the all the moments of 2020 and how I was a bit — dare I say it? — saddened to see the year close out.

There have been so many experiences over the last year. Some good, some meh. And, there have been the absences of experiences we had planned on. My mind was filled with both.

There are numerous lessons I’ve learned and have only briefly shared with a few trusted coconspirators. It’s time to widen that circle.

They say hindsight is 20/20 and we know, of course, now 2020 is hindsight. But I don’t think that means never looking back.

And so, for an undetermined amount of time with an undecided number of posts, I’ll share some of my thoughts from the past year. From things I’ve learned, to things I’ve lamented (am lamenting?), to things I’m trying hard not to repeat, to experiences, joys and celebrations I hope to never forget, I’ll give you a glimpse of what makes me tick. You’ve been warned.
