I am grateful for my friends, family, pets, food, shelter, education, health care workers, etc. in 2020. I am looking forward to hanging out and seeing my friends again, traveling, and to all people who will be able to survive and recover from COVID.

Aside from your family and friends, I am grateful for my health, my cats for making everyday fun, my brother for being there for me, the delicious food my mom makes. I am SO grateful for anime and manga. They just make my day so much better great.

Aside from my family and friends, I am very grateful for my health as well as my family’s health during this pandemic. I am also grateful for books and technology, for keeping me busy and helping me stay connected with my friends when I can’t see them in person. Being able to stay connected with your loved ones really brings happiness and joy to yourself. In 2021, I am looking forward to bringing peace and ease upon myself, physically and mentally, hoping to work on myself more.

Aside from my family and friends, I am grateful for the confidence I have to keep going in life. In 2021 I am looking forward to more happiness and more peace in my life. I would also look forward to having a fresh start with school, and quality time to get to know myself. Hopefully the world would be back to normal in 2021 so that I can have a chance to know myself more.

Besides my family and friends, I am grateful for technology, music and essential workers. During the pandemic, technology played a HUGE part in staying connected. Without technology, school would not be as safe and organized, there would be no contact with long-distance relatives and friends, besides mail. I honestly do not think pandemic would be as bearable without technology. Another thing i am grateful for is music because music connects many people and for me, music got me through a lot of quarantine. Not only listening to music, but writing and playing music as well. Finally, i am grateful for essential workers. Without essential workers, this pandemic would not have been possible. Health-care workers in hospitals who risk theirs lives to save others, teachers making sure students get a proper education, grocery store employees making sure there is food for people during these times and many, many more incredible people who provide for others. Going into 2021, I hope to be more present and spend more time with the ones I love. Obviously, the pandemic is still a very serious thing, but later in the year, as the pandemic dies down, I hope to enjoy every moment. I want to take time for myself and get comfortable in my own skin. I can only hope that 2021 will bring some peace and joy to all of our lives

Through the year 2020 I am grateful for having had the chance to be able to grow and continue to stay more aware of current events and such. Along personal values, I am grateful for maintaining good health through the pandemic. During 2021 I look forward to the 365 new chances I have to become a better person, and adapt to the new daily changes in the world.

Aside from my family and friends, I am grateful for the life I am given. I am grateful for my heath. I am very grateful for my bed. This time has been very stress so being given the opportunity to relax and to take a break is really nice. I am looking forward to the future and what is to come. Hopefully everything get better in 2021.

In 2020, I am grateful for getting to go skiing in Colorado at the end of the year, which was a lot of fun. I am also grateful for the time I got to spend with family that I wouldn't usually get. In 2021, I am looking forward to the new presidency, and hopefully the end of the Covid pandemic.

I am extremely grateful for my health, especially during this awful pandemic. I am also grateful for books, video games, movies, and anything that keeps me entertained while I am stuck at home. In 2021, I am looking forward to hopefully being able to safely go outside and see my friends in person again. I am also looking forward to learning more in school (hopefully with in-person learning by the next school year or so), and I am excited to go outside more and be physically active.

I am fortunate to have a comfortable life during this time, provided by my parents, which I am very grateful for. Even if my life in 2020 was significantly different from previous years, I still had memorable moments regardless of the situation we are living in. I am very grateful that my family and friends were able to stay safe throughout quarantine, while unfortunately there have been many people who have suffered from this pandemic. In 2021, I am looking forward to going on the trips my family and we had planned before the pandemic, eventually travelling to various places outside the country.

One thing i'm grateful for is getting through 2020 without any health issues as well as my family not catching anything. In 2021 im looking forward to hopefully seeing this quarantine end so I can hang out with friends and visit my family again without any trouble or fear of getting covid.

I am very grateful for the time I was given to relax and take up more hobbies. I'm also thankful that the people I care about have stayed healthy throughout the pandemic. I am looking forward to traveling and spending lots of time with my friends when it is fate to do so. I'm also looking forward to returning to my dance studio!

I am thankful for my health, my family, and all the free time I have gained from learning at home. Although this pandemic had inflicted all of us with hardships, it also had some benefits. We were able to bond more with our family and we had a lot more available time, allowing to do/learn new things/hobbies. Thus, I am grateful for the opportunities the pandemic has provided.

I am grateful to have a home and food as well as my family staying healthy during the pandemic. In 2021 I am looking forward to the hopeful end of the pandemic and being able to go camping during our breaks. I am also looking forward to the free time I will have due to distance learning.

I am extremely grateful to have the basic necessities to live a comfortable life, like a home, nourishing food, and water. Around the world, our nation, and my community I see those who do not have basic things to live and it breaks my heart. My family and I have been donating some food and clothing to our community during the pandemic when we can. It really just reinforces the fact that so many of us live in abundance all the while others have little to nothing, and it makes me truly grateful for the simple things in life. In 2021, I am looking forward to hopefully seeing a shift in the way our country is being run. I hope to see the leaders of the US lead with compassion and empathy.

Aside from my beloved family and friends, I'm very grateful for our health, security, and safety in 2020. Last year was very challenging in terms of social distancing and keeping our 1 1/2 year-old son safe. We are very lucky to stay healthy and COVID-free. Hopefully, we will continue to stay safe. Once LA County has reached herd immunity, I look forward to going on a road trip, hiking in state parks, visiting museums, and watching live theater performances again. Mr. Plotnik and I would love to finally show our baby the LA and Santa Barbara Zoos and Long Beach Aquarium because he's only seen wildlife in books. I am also eager to visit a spa and get a good massage. :)

This pic was taken on Christmas. We had a socially distanced dinner with my in-laws in the backyard.
