“Take the trip, buy the shoes, eat the cake” We’ve all heard that line before and felt its familiar tug, reminding us that life is better when it’s lived, fully. Trading coffee with your family, for on-time arrival to the office, or skipping the walk after lunch, to meet a deadline are familiar, as well. Choices are made many times in a day, probably a hundred times or more. In hindsight, COVID-19 will forever remind me to “take the trip, buy the shoes, and eat the cake”. While the pleasures of freedoms-past visit me daily, it has me planning for future delights. What is the one thing you miss most? The trip? The shoes? The cake?

The hugs and long talks in person....(the shoes are fun but they don’t show up on zoom ;) Although I have bought some rather luxurious merino tee shirts.... !!)

Righto! It's the trips for me, with my favorite peeps. The ones that make you laugh so hard you cry!

I was watching a baseball game from last year, just to bring myself back to a sporting event!

Step further than Fred. Opening Day at citifield. Mets v Yanks at Citifield.
A host of concerts and Broadway shows I had scheduled (some reset for Summer 2021 and one for late Sept.-not sure that one will hold)

Love it. So true. Tech only goes so far. Miss laughing so hard whatever you’re drinking comes out..... well you know ;))

Eye-to-eye, heart-to-heart talks while breaking bread. Though, starting in June, I’m scheduling walks in the Park & picnics (Bring Your Own) while staying six feet apart.

Me too, Kelly!! I think it's a perfect way to ease back into things.
