* Morning coffee at the corner cafe
* Getting a haircut
* Seeing friends

Mr. took for granted:

spending time with mom, dad, sister..  I can see my mom and dad but, don't hug them because I'm out often (just in case).
hair cuts
movies
eating out / brunch especially
being with my whole team of employees (miss them)
birthday celebrations, celebrations in general
TRAVEL.. cancelled a trip in Ireland & Scotland in May.. just cancelled trip to Jordan in September

Yeah, travel is a big one for me too.  I used to love to just take off and decompress.

Traveling is a biggie for me too and not just trips to the Nevada brothels ...LOL  Being retired, I would often just hop in the car and take day trips here and there to Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, etc. for a change of scenery.  Also, visiting the local zoos, museums, summer festivals around town, and meeting up with friends at our local casinos.

I also bought a new SUV last year and was planning on taking some longer road trips which are now on hold.

I miss the parks and museums also!  I heard a rumor that Starved Rock Park might be open by the weekend, but I don't know for sure.  I could really use some outdoor time.

Life was so good before and I did not even realize it.  I could go where I wanted and did not have to worry about getting sick and dying a horrible death and not even be able to call on friends or family to help me for fear that I might infect them.

I know exactly what you're saying.  I'm glad now that I didn't stay on the porch all those years, and ran off the chain!  I have a certain solace knowing that I lived life to the fullest!

I don't take anything for granted.

Me neither.

- Taking the dogs to the beach
- Walking past people without making sure we don't skim clothes
- Going to the grocery store and no lines
- Being able to find yeast at the market
- list goes on..

With everyone wearing a mask, what I really miss is seeing people smile.
