Fast and Feast!

During these last few weeks  - when the weather was so unpredictable - when my health has been substandard - when I decided that my precious rescued dog, Miss Emmy Lou, at over 15 years old with very weak hind legs, advanced dementia, and only intermittent control of her functions was alive but had no quality of life - I stopped, sat down and prayed.   I had hit my end- of- winter funk.

But here we are on the cusp of Spring -  and all my instincts tell me that I need to sew some very good seed during this Lenten season by reaching out to others.  There is need everywhere you turn and opportunities in each daily encounter for kindness, reconciliation and redemption.

Skimming Facebook today I found the following image filled will rule-of-thumb guidelines to keep a holy Lent attributed to Pope Francis - enjoy and or employ.  I will start today!
