2020 was a tough year. Who would have ever thought the year would have ended with us all still living under the shadow of COVID. It almost seems surreal. Even though it seems like we are still far away from getting back to normal I am thankful to still be pushing ahead. I’m also thankful that my wife and kids have been able to spend more time together. My wife and I both have been working from home and my kids have been doing remote learning on and off. This has been an opportunity for us to do things during the day like taking a walk or having a quick footrace at lunch which is something I never had the time to do before.
It was a difficult year but I’ve been blessed to continue working. And while it’s been stressful I’ve been able to improve the financial position of my family by continuing to save and invest in the stock market which has been unbelievable.
We will continue to persevere and push ahead. My relationship with God has gotten stronger and I feel so much better compared to a year ago. I’m so glad I decided to try an anti-depressant about a year ago. Lexapro has been a game changer for me and I shudder to imagine what my mental state would be right now if I hadn’t decided to take the leap. It was by the grace of God that I decided to take an antidepressant before COVID. I had been taking Lexapro for about 2 months before the lockdown started. If you are struggling with depression please don’t hesitate to talk with a professional. You have to take your mental health seriously. I waited way to long to get help and was on the edge just a year ago.
Good luck and keep pressing ahead!
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
