One Step, then Another

I managed to take 2 walks.

Google Photos is still acting up but I did not have time

to deal with it today.

I made red lentil soup today!

It has been a bit cooler weather and the Apostle's fast just began

and I enjoyed the soup so much.

I told Mr Husband that this soup is so familiar and comforting to me

that it's like when I go to Aunt H's house and we always have the same foods,

a bread from Arnie's, a Dutch bread that starts with the word R,

Dutch cheese, a boiled egg, Jif Peanut Butter, a jam... 

I felt so happy making that soup! 

Mr Husband got the red lentils out for me, 

as they were on a high shelf in the pantry... 

I am feeling better each day...

the exhaustion was pretty bad and I was quite discouraged...

it's like I am coming back to life and remembering what I love about it...

***

I am having a hard time with the loneliness part of this ongoing 

pandemic... I am starting to see people a little more,

but most days it's just myself and my Husband and it can be hard...

I don't have a lot of interaction with others...

Well, we must take life as it is given to us...

I am trying to be brave and pray...

***

I AM happy about the Apostle's fast... something about the change in

liturgical seasons makes me feel hopeful... 

We had watermelon tonight with salad and that was really nice...

***

And we will have a new grocery order coming tomorrow morning...

so that's really nice... 

I am re-reading The Rosemary Tree By Elizabeth Goudge and 

am really enjoying this... I finished

The Baker's Daughter by DE Stevenson...

I went on 2 walks today, so that is also good...

May God have mercy on us all!
