Huhh! It's finally the year end! 2020 is going and people have assumingly made a thumb rule to not to talk a word about 2020 in 2021. Though it sounds comic, 2020 has actually been an incredibly difficult year for everyone. Many people worldwide have lost their jobs, many have lost their loved ones. Yet, there seem to be a few things to be thankful for, from a global pandemic to social challenges and endless political banter.
 
If we look for the good the past 10 months had to offer, we’re certain to find something. Afterall, finding things to be grateful for this year is gonna help us start the new year on the right foot. Isn't it? And here the gratitude list starts. 8 reasons I think we all should be grateful for in 2020-

1. Learning and Progression
 
Can you imagine if you hadn’t learned anything over the course of your life? Not only is learning something new exciting, but it also helps you become a better person inside and out. Learning from mistakes helps you make better choices and shape your future to be the best possible. How great was it to be able to find the answer to a question, no matter how obscure, in a matter of seconds? Thanks to the internet that people realised it became easier to learn now more than ever. 2020 was a good time to look up a YouTube video on how to fix that leaky faucet of yours.

2. Employment
 
While many people complain endlessly about their 10 to 6, at the end of the day, I feel thankful I had my way to pay the bills. Just ask anyone who lost hours due to COVID-19; while work might not be how you want to spend the majority of your days, the security it provides is definitely something to be thankful for.
 
As you clock into work today, give thanks for a steady paycheck and a reliable occupation. You may even be grateful for the relationships you build with coworkers and the comfort that a routine provides. If you’re unhappy with your current situation, whether from burnout or unemployment, why not put in efforts to seek new opportunities?

3. Technology
 
This year would’ve been a lot harder without technology. Our electronics help us do so much, from keeping in touch with family to watching our favorite show to pass the time during the quarantine. Not to mention music streaming and the ability to continue to work from home during a pandemic. While it’s certainly true that society spends too much time binge-watching TV and scrolling through social media, the positive aspects of technology are something to be very grateful for. Even during a challenging year, it made things a little more bearable.
 
 
4. Indian Medicine
 
There’s nothing more comforting during a pandemic than knowing you live in a country with such advancements in medicine. Centuries and even just decades ago, a pandemic was much more severe and frightening because of the lack of treatment and facilities of the quality we see today. While some individuals unfortunately weren’t so lucky with COVID, research and testing and Ayurveda have made it possible to help countless lives recover and survive the virus. Medical advancements also helped with a plethora of other ailments, from seasonal allergies and pneumonia to depression and anxiety. Let's thank our lucky stars that we have all this available at tips.

5. Loved Ones
 
Family, friends, pets, and coworkers. You may be realizing it now more than ever- 'It’s the people you love that really add flavor to your life', right? Even when worst comes to worst, we can be grateful for the loved ones in our life. Let's take time to reach out and share our love with those we’re grateful for. Life is short, so I say take every
opportunity you can to thank them.

6. Basic Amenities
 
A roof over your head, running water and working electricity! As much as we use them, we might be taking these amenities for granted. Imagining my life without these conveniences, and I find every reason to be thankful for them. Remember that there are people in the world without many blessings that we enjoy each day. The next time we lay down in a soft bed or enjoy a warm bath, let's not forget say thanks that we have so many wonderful things right in the walls of our home.

7. Natural Beauty
 
Have you ever taken a moment to look outside your desktop screensaver? Even if you live in a crowded ceiling, peek out the window at the sky. Isn’t the beauty of nature amazing? All cheesiness aside, the fact that this is the only known planet that’s entirely habitable, is something to consider. The trees, lakes, rivers, and more are worth enjoying and preserving. Why not be thankful to this nature then?
