2020 Quotes

 My mom, who is a freaking creative genius, has decided that for your Christmas cards this year, we are going to choose a quote that embodies our feelings about the year 2020. When I was working on the blog, I was like: I should ask my English class because they always have (usually helpful) opinions! So, here are the quotes that the rest of my family has chosen, and the one that I chose. What do y'all think? Do you have a quote that is 2020 for you? 

Dad: "Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterword." - O. Wilde 

Mom: "Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create/" -Roy T. Bennett

Cole (my brother): "Life is a cycle, always in motion, if good times have moved on so will times of trouble." - Indian Proverb 

Mine: "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." - Dolly Parton

“4:00, wallow in self-pity. 4:30, stare into the abyss. 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me. I can’t cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing. I’m booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness.” — The Grinch

Thank y'all so much for making me laugh! The Grinch is inspired, and I believe that he might be the year's mascot.
If anyone else has great 2020 quotes, please continue to post them! Hopefully if we get all the negative stuff out there, 2021 will be a better year!
