You can stop writing altogether, but be sure to leave it open, if only as a wonderful record of what you thought for all those months and years.<br />I agree so much that RIGHT NOW it's more important than ever to focus on the beautiful. It keeps the soul alive when other things are dying around us. <br />Enjoy your coloring! My husband is doing daily devotionals too for anybody, but esp. for our church folks whom we miss so much.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-50995261247080407892020-03-26T08:43:04.370-04:002020-03-26T08:43:04.370-04:00I am delighted to visit here again!

I've been trying to minimize my social media usage (not always successfully!) to avoid the constant barrage of coronavirus news. So the tea blogs offer a balm to the mayhem.<br /><br />I'm thankful for technology such as Zoom which allows us to keep in touch with family and friends.<br /><br />Being a mentor Mom for MOPS is such a wonderful way to give back to the community.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216292186501923706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-87058235246582153312020-03-25T12:58:36.578-04:002020-03-25T12:58:36.578-04:00So nice to see a new blog post from you--I also ha...So nice to see a new blog post from you--I also haven't posted in quite awhile. You described your CV time so thoughtfully well. I haven't actually heard anyone complain about having to stay home, and our young family friends seem to be finding a lot of good in it as they have an abundance of time together as a family staying in and enjoying their home. We also got the mandate yesterday to stay home except for groceries or emergencies, for the next 21 days. podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-56332913831326394542020-03-24T23:42:33.855-04:002020-03-24T23:42:33.855-04:00I was so thankful to see your precious comment at ...I was so thankful to see your precious comment at my blog and also to see a new blog post from you!! SO very thankful you didn't close down your blog. It is tempting to quit sometimes, but we need each other more than ever in these troubled times.

It's great that you can have the meetings on Zoom. My gym even has a few classes that you can take over Zoom. In the meantime I get out for daily walks and keep my distance from people. I am happy to see all of your colored pencils out. I too have been doing some pencil and marker drawings and reading a lot. I hope to see you on your blog from time to time. Take care and be well.Julie's Creative Lifestylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356593535311926517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-2306094476501720592020-03-24T09:54:44.938-04:002020-03-24T09:54:44.938-04:00I was so happy to see your post in my inbox today....I was so happy to see your post in my inbox today. These are definitely challenging times but with the internet folks can keep in touch with loved ones and friends. The Scriptures mention several times when quarantine is necessary. We are a strong people and with Elohim's grace, we will get through this. We all need to pray for each other.

I am sure that we are all making the best of a challenging situation. Our governor closed down things a week ago so I have been home for a week and feel that I can carry on for another. After that, I’m not so certain.

So I am very glad to see a new post from you. I agree, The Beautiful (Still) Matters. And your blog is always a place of beauty.<br /><br />My church had a prayer meeting last night, via Zoom. It was my first time ever doing something like that. While it's not quite the same as meeting in person, it was such a joy to see so many beloved faces.<br /><br />I am a card sender, and I have sent cards to nearly every lady in my church in the past week, and this week, I'm sending to the children. I figure my card is like a warm greeting and a big hug.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />PattiPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.com
