About Today (And my new motto: Pray, not Panic)

Today was a day full of various things.

Morning cleanup and then making more of my favourite Pasta sauce! 

As I wrote elsewhere: 

We opened a bottle of red wine Sunday night for our

 meatfare chicken dinner we had...

 this week is what we call 'Butter Week' or 'Cheesefare week' ...

 the week that we have already given up (for Lent) meat 

but not fish or dairy. But red wine did not fit in with the meals 

we had so I poured it all (more than the recipe 1 cup) into this pasta sauce! 

I've done so before and it is delicious!! 

I've been making it for years! 

First time I made it I think was in Walnut Grove BC 

when I was still living in BC!

***

So I prepared that before lunch.
lunch was a delicious fried egg and raisin-cinnamon toast with Peanut Butter 

and a nice pot of tea of course, and kombucha, so good! 

Then I packed up everything to make a simple blini (Russian large thin crepe)

for L. who moved to a new place for more rehabilitation since she

broke her hip in December.

Her lungs still are not that great and have problems.  Asking your prayers!

She loved the blini, she had farmers cheese and apricot jam warmed up

and then some sour cream on top!

I got some new tea today,

I made salmon for dinner and 

got the fia pasta sauce prepared for freezing tomorrow. 

And DV tomorrow, I plan on making fish soup...

I wrote this a bit earlier today:

From this article -- serious stuff -- 

"SARS killed 774 people and infected 8,098 between November 2002 and July 2003.

 The new coronavirus has killed more than three times that many people in eight weeks."

I am seeing more people talk about this - 

and have gotten emails from medical offices about it.

 I keep thinking "Pray, not panic; Pray, be prepared; 

Pray for those impacted; 

Pray, for wisdom to know how to be prepared; Pray, not panic" ...

I think one of the hardest things right now about this is merely that 

we simply do not know what will happen worldwide 

or within our communities themselves. 

Pray, not panic; Pray for a peaceful heart as you prepare.

I know some are not worried much at all; 

I am sure it is coming to where I live; 

we are so close to NYC which is 40% of the airspace of the US....

Pray for a peaceful heart; pray, not panic.

 I think this is going to be one of my Lenten disciplines!
