Our memories are very precious! During this pandemic, so much has been taken from us. Where we live in California, our children will not be allowed to go back to school in the fall. Our religious institutions will have to continue online services. Many of the gyms have been closed. Restaurants for the most part are closed. Europe, Canada, and Mexico have put a ban on all American tourists. Hawaii is totally closed to others unless you want to quarantine for fourteen days. Theaters closed, no concerts, and the list goes on and on. Everyone is missing something important to them. For us, the fact that we cannot do our workshops, work that we have done for the past forty-five years and dearly love, causes hurt to our hearts.

Can’t Take Away Memories

But one thing that cannot be taken away is our memories. I would like to invite everyone reading this to reflect on their memories either by themselves or share them with others. Rather than watching TV shows or movies, looking at social media, or the news, why not have a “memory evening.” We love to do this. We have dinner together and talk about a certain event that we are missing. Together, we try to remember as many details and aspects as we can, especially everything about the event that we truly loved. We do not set a time frame for this lovely evening, but rather just allow our memories to have a voice.
