What is the biggest accomplishment you achieved this year

[Daniel84]

We all know 2020 sucked but what’s the best thing you were able to get accomplished or the best thing that has happened to you?

 

I’ll go first, I have been photographing people for a few years. I always had to work out of my home. Two days ago I closed on my first commercial lease. I now have a Modern Portrait Studio in Greenpoint.

 

Covid destroyed my businesses and my savings; But when life gives you lemons I choose to make lemonade. Covid also taught me how to be a better friend and have a life.

1. Following the advice of scientists right away
   
2. Keeping myself healthy
   
3. Helping others
   
4. Saving money
   
5. Not touching my savings to pay my expenses

For years friends and colleagues have encouraged me to move my business to an online platform. COVID gave me the kick in the pants I needed to do this. The success of my business has surpassed any expectations.

 

I was able to pool my resources and be a mentor to others who have ended up being equally successful.

COVID gave me the incentive to quit my job in September. Also sold my house near Boston and moved to Portland OR. Almost sorry to have missed this week's snow storm. Totally enjoying being in a new part of the country.....and I just don't miss working

I retired in August and successfully signed up for COBRA without missing a day of insurance coverage.

 

While vacationing in Las Vegas last month, I received a call from my former employer asking me to come back to work on a project through most of 2021.

After a multi-year break, I was re-admitted to my PhD program. When I "timed out" I had 3 of 5 chapters accepted. I've started back up where I left off, and a section from one of my chapters will appear in a professional publication in the next year or so. That, and I've made more JFF videos ?...

I smell some shrewd negotiations in your future!!

Did you find any closet cases?

Going six weeks (and counting) without being given a 'time-out' on this site. ???

Went 9 months without having sex with anybody.

I realized that a few of my closest friends were not the good friends I thought them to be. ? So I no longer hang on the the illusion of what I thought was and I have severed ties, no longer cultivating relationships with those who are toxic or have ulterior motives behind a façade of friendship. While slightly more lonely in the midst of this pandemic because of social distancing and lockdowns, I do feel free and liberated from those who used and weighed me down and drain me of my energy while contributing nothing of real value to my life. ?

I managed to commute from the bed to my zoom meetings each day - never once throwing in the towel for a day. That's about it.

First of all, congratulations on your new photography studio! As for me, I’ve invested more this year than I ever have before and I’ve made some really good decisions this year that feel really good about it.

During this horrendous year on the pandemic front, I have managed to balance my work with my recreation, which has kept me healthy and sane.

 

Hoping that next year brings us some relief on the COVID front so that we can all get back to all the people and experiences that make life truly worth living.

I worked pretty hard and saved a bit of money. I maintained my sanity in pretty trying situations and have enjoyed being out of retirement and I am now considering returning to retirement as Covid is coming closer to the end and my services will no longer be as needed.

The details in the shadows are amazing.That’s not easy to do kids.

Also, I love the contrast between his skin and the wood grain of the boxes.

Bravo!
