LOCKDOWN DIARY ~ DAY 19

I love what a friend said to me in Israel when I visited...
"One act of kindness changes the whole world for good."
I really do believe it very much. And so, it doesn't matter if we know or not, the exact difference we make by each act of kindness... we just need to know that the world that we all share, is a better place for it ♥ Kindness therefor is our moral duty and a blessing ♥

April 14
Blogging-blogging-blogging all day long, but at least I caught up on a lot.
 
It rained which I'm too grateful for... I won't have to water the garden. It started with hail and I prayed for protection of my vegetables and herbs, and as I did, the hail stopped. I am very grateful for that. No damage done.
 
Two days of very little sleep... only 5 hours last night, so today was a very detached day... couldn't quite connect... I was so tired.  A dear friend was able to deliver some sleep-medication to help me with that problem. It was so good to see his face poking over the wall and to hear a friendly voice so close to home again.  I am so grateful ♥ Another sleepless night would have been too much!  On those restless nights, I often wake up with really bruised and sore gums as a result of clenching my teeth on the gums in my sleep!  ANAH!!! 
 
My daughter called and we were able to catch up on life... Oh how I miss her and love her so much ♥ My son, Jonathan also called later which was great! Man, I miss my family ♥
 
A young friend from the past of mine... my daughter from another mother, has been in contact with me again just lately and it's making me so happy to have her back in my life. She knows that I will always be around when she needs me to be. I love her so much too ♥
 
Now off to go clean the kitchen... EEEK! 😬🙄 and yes... I have a bad attitude towards housework... some things will NEVER change! I'd rather be painting a picture or finishing off mending the dress that's still sitting under the sewing machine needle since lockdown started. I never did get back to it!
 
A Facebook friend, Andrea commented
It is good to keep up with your activities to remind me to do constructive activities each day and to use the time well. You are a barometer for me to appreciate blessings, especially to still be alive for now and to be kind in my thoughts as I go back through the chapters we have lived and to know my last two months are because of doing what is the hardest thing for me. Staying home base and use the time in a fruitful manner. So, sending you blessings to you and your family to continue to be safe…We are blessed to have friends who connect with us each day and this gives me a positive note. For you and our friend Jason it has been ten years together on Facebook. Imagine the support our friendship has given each other just by sharing ordinary events of each day and our relationships with our families and friends ♥
 
Something beautiful ~ my son and I have been hearing owls calling to each other in our neighbourhood at night.  We even saw the dark silhouette of one sitting on a roof across the road the night before last, and it was a BIG one… too wonderful!  Made us both very happy ♥

​An owl I drew in the Zentangle style a few years ago… I personally love this one! 
 
The day before yesterday I noticed that the seeds we planted in the pots and garden recently have started to sprout!  Loving it! 
 
Thanks for sharing.
