Please excuse us while we state the obvious one last time – 2020 has truly been one for the books – textbooks that is. Our health and wellbeing, in addition to almost every aspect of our everyday lives, has been turned upside down. Businesses of every size and in every industry have suffered, forcing them to pivot to keep customers and employees safe while staying afloat. And as if that wasn’t enough, 2020 has also given us new fun terms like “Murder Hornets.” Seriously, what gives?
I think we can all agree 2020 hasn’t been our finest year, but the good news is – it’s almost over. The world may never be the same, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. And hey, it hasn’t ALL been bad. Pet adoptions and foster homes were way up this year! Drive-in movies made a comeback! The SpaceX inaugural operational mission launch took three astronauts into space!
Here at SAVI, we know it’s important to acknowledge the good things along with the bad. So here is our official SAVI Controls 2020 recap, our silver linings if you will. 2020 has been rough, but through it all, navigating these unchartered waters brought us closer as a team, and looking back, we’ve accomplished quite a bit!
Please enjoy our 2020 silver linings – we’d love to hear yours!
