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

Day 347: My Big Fat Greek Salad!!

I have perfected the art of making a Greek salad!  I have made two huge bowls in the last week. My kinds rave. Essentially the secret is f vegetables , good feta cheese, Greek olives and a homemade dressing made with light, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar,  and oregano. Here is my recipe: MY BIG FAT GREEK SALAD Serves 4 hungry adults 4 cups greens (I used a "spring mix" from Fred Meyer) 2 cucumbers 6 roma tomatoes one small red onion 1 cup cubed feta cheese 1 cup Greek olives (pitted) Get out a big bowl. Peel a clove of garlic, cut in half and rub it over the interior of the bowl.  Wash the lettuce if it is not prewashed and packaged like mine was.  Dry the leaves, and tear into bite sized pieces. Throw into the big bowl. Note: Romaine lettuce is good to include in the mix, because it is hearty. Peel the cucumbers and dice. Add to bowl. Cut the roma tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds (otherwise they make th...

Year Two, Day 307: Chasing Away The Gloomy Weather...with Music and a Smile! :)

It seems to me that most of the city is depressed, tired and sick. I still have my low grade snuffly nose, along with sneezing, and itching eyes.  Low energy. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Misery loves company, don't you know! Even through the gloom, I had an enjoyable day.  I told myself several times that I really am a lucky woman. My kids are grown, I'm going to be a GRANDMA, and I love my work. My church job is a nice secure little job and it seems I am quite needed there.  I am still learning the ropes. But I am enjoying it. Meeting new people. And best of all, I have only a 1 1/2 minute commute (by foot!). I have a cozy little room in a household full of wonderful laid back people.  People who love animals and music. But best of all, my afternoons are filled with music. I basically get on the bus and travel about town, sitting at pianos, visiting with students, who are like my family. We talk. They play the piano for me. I offer pointe...

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...
