Being on TV is not always as fun as it is made out to be!

You have to be able to put honey on the crust

violent crime is not higher

Yep

Depends what channel you wathc

I'm ready for the Men in Black neuralyzer to blast away my 2020 memories

Great!!! Thanks

Haha Ashley, I love that idea

to see the light and spark a flame

I’m mentally prepared that I might not get a vaccine for a year. If I get one sooner, yay!

I love that prediction

I love it! The moonshot here is bringing our communities together.

I love that prediction too - and I think it could happen!

I love that prediction and attitude.

I also thought about the fact that our shortest day is the longest day in the southern hemisphere.

It's a great day for sky watching. Getting my new telescope out tonight to see the conjunction up close and personal.

Days start getting longer from here out - much prefer being on the up-swing!

I'm grateful for the ability to work from home.

Refocusing on what matters

I’m grateful I have my dogs with me all day

More time with my family

More time to read some really good books.

The ability to hone my skills on virtual engagement.

This was the best year of my dog's life

the different ways we've learned to things, such as meet, train, learn

The opportunity to do some mental healing.

No rushing from one activity to another. So much slower

Also married by best friend and got a new puppy! (he's a Pomeranian and his name is Butter)

Saved some money on commuting.

Be home with my Dogs more... got a new Pekingese

woo hoo

I also switched to Gieco

Work from home should help offset carbon footprint too

A focus on relationships, while we couldn’t connect face to face, we made more effort to keep in touch digitally

Conferences nationally became free and local- amazing experiences I wouldn’t have otherwise been able to learn from

I facetimed my Dad for the first time. Why weren't we doing that before? Glad we are now.

Amen!

considering who was in charge of the Federal government, not surprising...LOCAL LEADERSHIP WAS CRUCIAL

Let's hear it!

Woo!

yay!

Yessss Angelica!

Beautiful!

yea!

Go Angelica!!

Love it!

Whoot Whoot!!!

That was GREAT!!!!

Fantastic, Angelica!

Super dooper!!! great

Awesome!

Second all that!

Saw the 20 seconds of insane courage in movie We Bought A Zoo. Love it!!

We bought a zoo was a great film... I forgot that part... thanks

yes Yoda

I love this, but I need to remind myself of this ALL THE TIME!!!

Comparison is the thief of joy, that quote always gets me

That’s a good one

Lol I totally did it

To have a friend, you must be a friend

Kindness matters

don't make assumptions

Embrace the differences in others

Have several mini-routines that help you take care of yourself. Nothing overwhelming.

What is the worst thing that can happen? Don't let fear stop you from doing something.

Don't judge me until you know me. Don't underestimate me until you challenge me, and don't talk about me until you talk to me.

You are gonna have to save this chat and send us these tips later Nick!

Take the time to listen to your inner self. Close off outer disturbances and allow yourself grace. Don't be too hard on yourself for your past mistakes

Be brave. Most times the answer to "What's the worst that can happen?" is "Nothing you can't handle." There will be aggravating, sleep-deprived, hurried days dealing with the nonsensical and the stupid—and you should find a way to enjoy them. You're not going to get those days back.—Candy Crowley, 63, CNN anchor and chief political correspondent, https://www.oprah.com/spirit/celebrities-letters-to-younger-selves/all

Love that Sarah!

I want sunglasses that say “I don’t give a 2020” lol

Forgiveness is not for them, it's for you.

Thanks everyone for being here today!

lol

Love the hat Angelica!

100% agree Kristen - Public Involvement won't be done in person only anymore... we have to create programs that accommodate in person and virtual... and kudos for recognizing that providing virtual engagement opportunities increases community exposure... super excited for what the future holds!

Yes, Kristen! We are already trying to find those locations!

Probably catastophizing

catastrophizing for sure

Filtering & personalizing

Filtering & Personalizing

catastrophizing

For me it's none of these because I always think about silver lining of everything. If someone cancels, well I get to do something else. I'm not perfect at it all, I just don't auto think of the negative.

Wow that is crazy!

I love the Holderness family videos

I always warn my husband when I’m on camera so he doesn’t walk behind me in his PJs hahaha

He chooses his roles

More pets in the office

Either that aliens will make contact with earth.... or maybe that we will move closer to a medicare for all healthcare system as people see how healthcare should be a human right.

More flexible work arrangements for those who were previously expected to be in the office from 8 to 5 each day.

Why not both?

Lol

What Kristin Hill said - the new normal will not be what we knew before

Increase in the federal minimum wage as we now understand the essentiality of traditionally lower wage work

Continuance of remote work to bring back small town main streets

Most of you will realize that cats rule

Bring sweat pants back

Expansion of broadband access across the country. Public/private investments

Love that broadband prediction. Definitely should be an essential service like electricity or heat.

I think work day naps should be a thing
