This morning, walking to the Supper Nonna Isa Grocery Store in Cagliari Italy, an elderly Italian woman and her adult daughter came around the corner. The woman stopped, smiled, and spoke in Italian. Her daughter translated: “My mother says the color of your face is beautiful, like the sun.”

On the way back from the grocery store, another elderly woman with a bright smile on her face also stopped and said, “The color of your face is so beautiful, like the sun.”
