Art helps us interpret our feelings, our thoughts, our memories, to record them, and to share them. One of the gifts I received on Christmas day was a jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle was made from a photograph I captured for the recognition of National Typewriter Day (June 23, 2019). To solve the puzzle, piece by piece, I had to recall and relive the memory of that day, the experience of capturing the photograph, and the reason why. Solving this puzzle on Christmas day affirmed the value of memories: they are among the most precious things we have. Art helps us interpret our feelings, our thoughts, our memories, to record them, and to share them. Share generously, it is better to give than receive. Hopefully you will find others that feel the same way. I know I have.

p.s. Don’t forget the next National Typewriter Day on June 23, 2020.

p.p.s. Yes, this was typed on the machine in the photograph.
