I get to have a second Thanksgiving today with my partner’s side of the family. It’s pretty incredible how much there is to be grateful for—a recurring theme with my tribe over the past 2 days. Yes, 2020 has sucked in a lot of ways for pretty much everybody. But there’s also so much to give thanks for someone in my position. I’ve visited 6 countries on 3 continents this year. I’ve been fortunate to live close to the most important people in my tribe and have thus been able to maintain a safe bubble with them throughout this pandemic. Looking back on photos from this year, there have still been a lot of laughs and a lot of good times. I think that’s the most important thing to consider as we close this year out. Yes there’s much to be done—our political system does not function for the average American, and we have some serious environmental problems. But we also have much cause for joy and laughter. If we reflect back on it, I think we’ll be surprised with how happy we’ve been and how good we really have it. These may be tense times. But they also present opportunity for future growth.
