Your say: What do you miss most about pre-pandemic life?

Last time we asked: What do you miss most about your life from the pre-pandemic era?
Who knew life would set brand-new limits?
What I miss most about my pre-pandemic life is the normal routine that I previously took for granted.
I seldom gave a second thought to the fact that, in retirement, I could do what I wanted when I wanted. My calendar was full of simple social events: a coffee or lunch date with friends, my Monday morning Life Story Writing Group, the monthly meeting of my parish Women’s Guild, the biweekly meetings of a women’s spirituality group, mahjong with dear neighbors every Monday evening, cards with other friends every couple of weeks, frequent dinners with our daughter and her family.
Although not earth-shattering, these social interactions filled my need for love, recognition and validation.

Now I long for these and other daily activities that made up the fabric of my pre-pandemic life. I yearn to attend mass with members of my faith community of St. Thomas More in Oceanside. I am most grateful for the technology that makes it possible to “attend” Sunday mass on video, but I do miss gathering with others for this sacred ritual.
Social isolation is a difficult challenge. I have come to realize that it is both a healthy practice and a holy one. We keep our distance not only to help flatten the curve but also to show love and concern for the welfare of others.
When life returns to normal, I want to look back with no regrets knowing that I put forth my best effort every single day.
I miss my friends
and my memories in school
the way we enjoyed all our life with our friends
and we had never thought of such situation where we would not meet our friends for about 1 year or more ...u hope this pandemic goes alright and we meet our friends againn
