In the recent years I have enjoyed using the 1 second video app to capture little moments in our year. Even though 2020 was a really hard year, there are so many little moments of happiness throughout. When you put these moments together with a meaningful song, the year looks pretty amazing. It is a good reminder to savor the moments of this remarkable life.
