You can’t calm the storm do stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.

Thanks for the reminder. People have more time to worry and less distractions to keep them busy. Sometimes I tell myself not to think.

We are going for a walk in a less populated area. There will be more space to move away from others. When we walked around the lake and on trails 2 days ago we had to step aside in order to keep 6 ‘ away.

My dog wants to play with all the dogs he encounters.

Some aquarium ? opened its’ doors to dogs!

You remind me I need to get out soon. Today it’s rainy and I don’t feel up to it but I plan on a run tomorrow.

🐶 my dog wants to play with all the others too.

We walked in a development where the houses have several acres. Did not see one other person the whole hour.

It was misty out by the time we returned.

Cloudy all day.

I hope you are o k w no run.

Hello, Starr :)

Do you recall the account @ Matthew ch 8 which relates how Jesus calmed a storm? I think it's noteworthy...

"Look! a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but he was sleeping. And they came and woke him up, saying: “Lord, save us, we are about to perish!” But he said to them: “Why are you so afraid, you with little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm set in. So the men were amazed and said: “What sort of person is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him.”

Encouraging to those who follow Him.
