Making these short music/picture videos has been an engaging project (at least for me).  For the past six months, I have been cautious and, I like to think, considerate as this pandemic has stymied my participating in so many of the activities I would usually enjoy.  And I expect to be making similar adjustments over the coming year as well.  I am thinking up some new projects to focus on, mostly because I know that having a project going is my way of staving off boredom and depression.  This is likely to be my last video for now as I turn to something else, so for this one I thought I would share some of my memories and images that help me look forward toward the future, something that I did pretty easily when I was younger but that requires some intentional choices on spending my time now that I have so much unstructured time to spend.  People, activities, books, and movies that have spurred me onward include my grandmother, my family, my daughter, my friends, teaching and the field of folklore studies, and of course my music and writing.  I hope the video sparks similar incentives for you from your own store of memories.
