For the last 14 months, social distancing has become the norm to slow the spread of Covid-19. As a result, our ability to interact with one another has suffered. Physical contact and camaraderie with friends and loved ones outside our home have been cancelled. Darn, we even have to hide our smile behind a mask.
One can only understand this sense of excitement as current restrictions are being lifted. A case in point was the last July 4th celebration with all the fanfare and happy faces.
On a personal level, I want you look at me now after my first real haircut in months. Do I look great or what? Finally, I was also able to go to the dentist for routine dental cleaning and checkup.
For a birthday or anniversary that occurs this year, I see no reason not to celebrate. I wish each one my best wishes and happiest thoughts. In lieu of the current situation and folks still suffering from the effects of the pandemic, however, it may be preferred to keep it simple and intimate even if you can afford to splurge.
For sure, we’re not out of the woods yet, but we can now see the light and the clearing ahead even with the highly transmissible delta variant spreading around. Until then, stay safe and be healthy, people!

It was a beautiful warm and sunny day. While walking along Avenida da Liberdade, I felt an overwhelming sense of being watched.
I slowed down and surreptitiously looked around. It was then that I saw a pair of eyes hanging by the trees. Who put them there and for what purpose I didn’t have a clue.
It must be some kind of a joke Still, it creeped me out. I left the place in a hurry.
