This year we decided to do something different for the Thanksgiving. We sat down and compiled two lists: the good and the bad things that happened to us in 2020. We deliberatly set a goal of 30 good and 20 bad things, and it was a wonderful family bodning experience when we realized we were actually struggling to finish our 'bad' list. I didn't really use the word 'reflection' in my journaling, but the page itself documents our collective moment of reflection. This is the right-hand side of the two-page layout from our 2020 family album. Kit used is A Year in Review by Gingerbread Ladies.


The journaling reads: 



  1. Daddy's appendicitis
