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:
- Daddy's appendicitis
- Covid-19
- Fires in Australia
- Bees are dying in numbers
- WWIII nearly broke out (Middle East conflict)
- Fall of L'manburg (Minecraft YouTube)
- Online school
- Jack shitted on our bed as retaliation for having left hi alone at home
- Joe, Victor (Olga's brother), Magali and Oliver caught Covid
- Joe got crashed into, car scrapped on the spot
- No more Volvo
- Gigantic cockroaches in Jakarta
- Didn't get to go to Finland this year
- Wine is very expensive in Jakarta
- 2:15 am start for BSJ in Prague
- Prices of cheese in Jakarta
- Burger King in not the same in Jakarta
- Imported phones don't work in Indonesia
- In March had to buy two new computers for kids and iPhone for Olga
