Well, what a year... Many, many times since last spring I’ve felt incredibly lucky for my natural tendency to see the silver lining in everything. I’m just wired that way, I’ve always been... And never has it been such a big part of keeping going. It’s always nice to see the world that way, but this year it became essential to my sanity. Is it always realistic? Probably not? Was I able to see the glass half full when it was in actuality pretty much empty? Probably. But I don’t care. We made it through 💚 So to finish this awfully difficult year on a high note, lets all find our own silver linings and dwell on them a little bit. I was able to spend some time off in the summer with Finnegan for the first time, and boy did we take advantage of that. We caught frogs, climbed trees, slept in the car, saw lots of lichen, ate at a lot of roadside cantines. The first confinement emptied the streets so much that I was able to practice driving on the highway, something I never, ever thought would be possible for me. Now when I can’t sleep instead of fake shopping for plane tickets I fake directions on Google maps and imagine all the road trips I can take once all this s**t is over. The complete lack of work gave me time to reconnect with my creative side and I did more photo shoots in one summer than in the past 5 years. It was nice to create for myself and to reconsider what this business is trying to put out into the world... So tell me, what about you? What was your silver lining this year??
