Italy, pre-COVID.

The times were so much simpler than today.

Why, I could just walk into a store, grab a pair of sunglasses laying on the shelf, & try them on.

I didn’t need to use a wipe, or hand sanitizer.

No gloves to wrestle with getting on.

No mask covering half of my face.

I could literally outwardly wear my smile.

(Yep, those were the days. When, in heaven’s name, will we get those days back?)
