Small Steps ~ A Simple Chicken Pasta

 






Last night, with chicken breast leftovers from church,

I made a simple Pasta sauce with 

1 large can tomatoes, 2 cloves minced garlic and some dried oregano. 

Chicken breast cut in half, 

with Cabot's white cheddar cheese shredded and melted on top.

For lunch I did it in the toast oven,

adding the cheese in the last 7 of 16 minutes of baking time

(325/350F, I made it hotter at the end). 

I thought the picture of the tree, above,

with the one post at that angle, 

made it look like this darling little tree was 

on walk with two hiking sticks, one bent and ready to go

and the other still, as if the tree has stopped for a minute to look 

into the distance before continuing the hike. 

***

I managed to work on my project this morning,

did my morning rountines, dishes, had breakfast,

made lunch... 

***

May God have mercy on us.

I love the concept of a lot of little steps towards where

we went to go is how it's done. 

***

May God help us.

Trees can be a comfort as birdwatching for us. Beautifully written, thank you!
