Similar to past traditional events during the pandemic, I've coached myself forward as I revised the event to make it safe, doable, and right for the times, but as the events become reality, there is a sense of loss that's unavoidable. Yet, we have no other choice but to make the best of it and do what you can to be positive, cheerful, and helpful in any way we can to lift the spirits of those around us. We can't stop finding the silver linings and doing what we can to make these special days meaningful. Onward.
