What a beautiful retelling practice. Thank you!

With COVID restrictions limiting countless joyful things, I started visualizing specific moments that I long for (sharing coffee with my husband by the Louvre, 23 family members crammed into one kitchen sharing stories and kissing babies, letting my toddler run around the library's kid's section) and pinpoint specific pieces I can weave into my (limited and sometimes lonely) life today. Absolutely applying this to this prompt.

I remember the last time I decided I wanted to take a class at Seattle Central College right before the pandemic struck. I had to succumb to my disabilities, and drop out, because of there being too much reading assigned.

The one good thing that came out of that experience was that I’m a very grateful and happy customer of Audible + library audiobooks!

If I had signed up for audible one morning, and just continued with that class; it would have also created more problems because the class ran through March 2020. I was extremely overwhelmed by all the homework, and didn’t really want to go through all that again. My parents didn’t want me to either. Perhaps I would’ve really enjoyed getting to know the instructor and my peers, they all seemed like very compelling people.

It would be nice, interesting, and fun if we had a parallel universe!
