Your Year In review

2020 is over now and you have settled into the new year.  Many might say "good riddance to 2020" and others may have fond memories, but regardless of what the year held for you, It was worth taking note of.

There are many ways to hold onto this information for ourselves and the future generations.  A photo / memory book of your year may be the perfect momento with pictures and stories to explain the changes that occured, how the family members felt and what it has been like for them.  

Maybe a slideshow saved on a USB stored with your vital documents is the right choice for you.  Its super inexpensive and available to anyone using microsoft powerpoint on their computer.  It is an easy option for the less techy individual.  

Or even a video compilation of the families journey through the year.  Quick, little videos taken on your phone video camera of loved ones talking about their year and what impacted them the most.  If you are an iphone user, you can use the movie app on your phone to quickly throw together the compilation for viewing. 

You need to find a way that is natural and easy for you to collect these memories or it will fall to the bottom of the to do list.  Set an appoint ment with yourself to tackle this project, as you will one day be thankful that you did. 

You could share your year in review with others or maybe just keep it as a video diary for yourself but even if it is just a story for your children similar to the "I had to walk uphill both ways in 10 foot deep snow everyday just to get to school" stories that we heard as kids, it is worth remembering and trying to find something in it to be grateful for now or if not now, then in the future.  

Here's hoping for a great 2021!
