Joel 2:21-23 New King James Version (NKJV)
21 Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done [a]marvelous things!
22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the [b]former rain faithfully,
And He will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month
Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done [a]marvelous things!
22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the [b]former rain faithfully,
And He will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month
Hello Friends!
I have survived a whole week of essentially home isolation. The only place I go is to the park across the street for my morning walk.
Yesterday was rough. I suddenly hit an emotional wall - a wall of fatigue, depression, anxietyand despair.
A pandemic wall.
I finally pulled myself away from tne internet. I made a mug of lavendar tea, put on my jammies and crawled into bed. I binge watched a couple hours of my new favorite show - an older, Britis sitcom called "Mind Your Manners". Then I said my prayers and passed out.
It helped. I woke up refreshed. And my new priorityi s to do something nice for at least one person a day.
I am still keeping a heightened awareness about the pandemic, but taking time to breathe in, enjoy simple life moments and remembering to exhale.
The virus continues to spread. We are advised to continue staying home until at least the end of April.
The assistant director from the music center were I teach piano scanned and emailed me some sheet music for my students, Since I keep all my lesson books there at the center.

It is her 30th birthday this Wednesday. Poor kid. Born on April Fool's day an celebrating her 30th Birthday during a pandemic! My grandaughter and I made her a butterfly out of construction paper - I traced her hands on the paper for the "wings"> And I am ordering her and her husband a dinner from Uber Eats on her birthday. To be eaten in her room by candlelight while babysit my grandaughter downstairs.
Staying home and saving lives is our moral obligation to our community. And if you get creative, it can be fun! Seriously!
Stay home, stay safe. And God bless us all!
Love,
Zita
