Yep, I can also really imagine what you were feeling. My morning DJ keeps talking about how he can't wait for concerts to begin again. The virtual from the living room concert isn't quite the same, though it is fun to see some of them.

Sherry, I understand that sad feeling. It has happened to me several times lately too when I am reminded of things we used to do that I loved so deeply and cannot do now. It makes me feel hopeless. Rationally I know that things will eventually get back to normal, but emotionally i feel like those things are gone from my life forever.
Sending hugs. Kim |

I totally get it, Sherry. And of course music plays a HUGE role with our moods. If you can, preserve and protect that cool song as a happy memory of that eventful summer in your life and try not to let it bring you down. We need things that make us smile! For me it's getting to appreciate nature more than ever, watching it make its comeback in unexpected places and knowing that -even temporarily- the world is becoming a cleaner place.
As depressing as it sounds, I think of the 'Spanish' flu of 1918 (estimates of 50-100 million deaths worldwide, and this at a time when globalization wasn't yet a thing). As dreadful as that was back then - with no internet to keep us connected - we collectively got through it and life did once again normalize. Of course it'll happen again.

Sherry, I totally understand. Music can really transport you. I can't count the number of times I've started crying in the Trader Joe's when they played a song that brought back memories. I would have to stand close to a shelf and pretend to study a soup label till the song ended. Sending hugs to you.

The other day driving home from the grocery store, the Logical Song by Supertramp came on the radio. I was immediately transported back to when I was a small child at my hometown swimming pool. I loved that place! I could even smell the suntan lotion and the corn dogs the concession stand sold. Hearing that song was like a warm hug of a wonderful memory. I love when moments like this happen!
Sherry- please cherish a happy memory and be glad it brightens your day. We could all use a little happiness through song these days!
