Drink up London, ON October 2024 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
Exhibit A: these glasses.
They were sitting in the kitchen of our friends’ home. As we all gathered around the central island and caught up since our last gathering, I stepped back a bit and found myself listening to the warm buzz of the room.
I do that often, and my friends get the why. If I pull a camera out to remember the moment, they smile that understanding smile that only true friends can. I’m a lucky human, indeed.
Since we all began reconnecting after COVID started to slip into the past, I found myself appreciating these moments even more than I might have previously.
Maybe being stuck connecting to each other exclusively via videoconference made us appreciate these in-person get-togethers a little more after the lockdowns ended.
I know it’s changed me, and I no longer take simple moments like these for granted. They matter to us far more than we once thought.
