Day 30/31
A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, have to bring soul to the recipe.
Thomas Keller
Ingredients
- One large pack of patience
- Several pounds of prayer
- About 7 hours of sleep
- 20-30 minutes of movement
- A bunch of virtual connecting
- At least one self-care activity
- A smidge of news viewing
- A sprinkle of humor
- A dash of flexiblity
First, take as much patience as you can possibly find and mix it gently with a large helping of prayer. Next, stir in about seven hours of sleep combined with 20-30 minutes of movement combined with a self-care activity. Add a bunch of virtual connecting with family and friends, and a smidge of news reports. Place it all in somewhat of a schedule, and let it rest over night.
Take a healthy dose of this mixture each morning until it fills your soul. Be sure to top it with a sprinkle of humor and a dash of flexiblity.
Repeat as necesssary.
Stay well.

I missed this through the hectic March challenge but really love your schedule, especially ‘one self care activity’. That’s vital! 🙂

One large pack of patience.
Several pounds of prayer.
These are the part of the recipe I need to post on my re-located teacher desk! AKA: dining table

I love this recipe. Although, I’m struggling with the news viewing. I had it down to a smidge, and now, it is has been cut out of my life (for the first time ever – I’ve been an avid newspaper reader since I was a kid) because all of the stories contradict each other. I can’t keep up. I am going to keep your recipe in mind as I trudge through these days with the hope that brighter days are coming. THANK YOU!

Love this recipe! Just what I need. Some days I’m overwhelmed by the news. This is so doable.

I love the recipe slice. It’s the second one I read today. I love this line “take as much patience as you can possibly find and mix it gently with a large helping of prayer” So true!

I love how putting this in the form of a recipe makes it seem so much more manageable. I think what I struggle with most is the openness of my schedule. A recipe gives me a checklist. My ordered brain likes that.
