You guys! We made it to the end of 2020. I wasn’t sure we were gonna make it there for a minute. I kid, I kid. And of course, we know the world isn’t going to magically get better at midnight tonight. But there’s just something so refreshing about getting to the end of the year and starting fresh on January 1st, you know?
On New Year’s Eve, I usually like to spend some time reflecting on the past year. I go through my blog and my photos and reminisce on the big highlights of the year. I also like to journal about things that happened and how I felt about them etc. This year’s end of the year reflection has been a doozy for sure. Can I get an amen?
Anyway, just like anything else in life, I think it’s important to include your spouse in some your end-of-year reflections. So I came up with some questions you can ask each other at the end of the year (or any time, of course). Order your favorite take out or make your favorite home-cooked meal and make a date out of it!
