A note to my friends and family,
I want to start off by repeating the same sentiment I shared in last year’s newsletter - I hope you, your families, friends and loved ones are healthy.
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite days to celebrate because it's the true start of the holiday season. We spend intentional time with friends and family, including those who aren’t always so easy to catch up with. Generational traditions evolve and take on some new flares, staying true to the stories created by our great grandparents, and also picking up pieces of things learned along the way.
Most people know how strongly I feel about carrying on traditions like these. But learning from and reflecting on the past carries just as much weight, in my opinion. Someone very special recently introduced me to a saying about putting yourself "on the front right burner," which is where people tend to cook the most. Over the last year, more than ever, I have learned how important it is to always keep close what's important to YOU.
The COVID pandemic has impacted all of us and changed our lives in various ways. I don’t feel the need to elaborate on that this year, other than being thankful that there are therapeutics available and hope, finally, that "normalcy" is on its way.
That being said, I am extremely grateful for the long-lasting relationships generated by Regal Restoration's entire network, and the fact that handshaking, hugging and face-to-face meetings are coming back. As you know, I am a “hug and a kiss” kind of guy and missed that interaction with all of you! As we head toward the new year, I want to be intentional about spending more quality time together and creating memories.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season filled with happiness and cherished moments.
As always, please be SAFE!
With love,
Robert/Robbie
