Article 32: “The Taste”

There was a festival in town during the month of September, where locals joined to taste the food of local restaurants. Many people gathered and set up tents to sell crafts and food. The gallery was open for business, and Chester helped Lucy by bringing her lunch and taking turns watching the shop so that they could each have some time to enjoy the festival outside.

When the festival was over, something else began. As they were turning out the lights in the shop, Chester and Lucy shared their first kiss, which launched their relationship. There is more to this story, as there always is, so I’m sure that more will follow…

While it is a joy to remember these special moments in my life, I want to stress the importance of the fact that I do remember these happy moments. My mind has been through so much. Following Chester’s movements is a nice reminder that my memory is still intact. I encourage you to try this method of therapy. It doesn’t matter if you don’t think you can draw, or that you don’t know what you would say. Try to picture yourself from a distance in the form of another character, and in another dimension. Illustrating your life can be fun, and it has been very helpful for me!

Thank you for tuning in this week!
