Year Four, Day 287: Pandemic Times Day 36, "Stay Home - Stay Safe" Day 24: Be Still. And Awake

Good Evening Friends:

Tonight will be super brief. Since we are on the cusp of transitioning back into society in the next month, I need to get myself onto a more regular (translation: earlier to.bed, earlier to rise) sleep schedule. It's been a lifetime goal and today recommended to me by my counselor. He is a wise man; I think I'll listen to him.

I think the transition, may be more if a challenge than simply staying home, so I want to make sure I have plenty of energy.
President Trump outlined his 3 phase plan for opening up the country, but he is leaving it up to the leadership of each state to determine when we can come out of our caves.

I am excited, but I am determined to remain patient, and comply with guidelines as set down by our government. Hopefully if we are cautious, we can defeat the virus and save lives that would have been lost to carelessness.

We shall see what tomorrow holds.

My daughter's boss, a pastor Saud this is a goid time to reassess our goals and to listen for God's voice to determine the path to our life's goals, dreams and aspirations.

Amen!

I'd like to add: Be still. Listen. But remain alert and pay attention.

"Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober." ~1Thessalonians 5:6 (NKJV)

Talk to you tomorrow. Be safe, be well, be blessed and awake.

Love,

Zita

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night. I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers". If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea. Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever. The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience. This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award! :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks. On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy". I have found the per...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
