THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference has never tried to fall asleep with a misquito in the room.

As far as I can see there is no one who should be going without food or shelter. There is plenty enough to go around. All it takes is some caring people to make a difference.
Speaking of food, today’s my day to cook and on the menu is:
Chopped Power Salad with Chicken
Makes 4 servings
1/4 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp. lemon Juice
1 clove garlic, grated
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
4 cups torn leaf lettuce
4 cups baby spinach
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 cup have and sliced cucumber
1/2 cup slivered red onion
1/2/cup sliced pepperoncini
1/3/ crumbled feta cheese
2 Tbsp. toasted salted sunflower seeds, optional
Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add lettuce, spinach, chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, onion and pepperoncini. Toss to coat. Serve with sprinkled feta and sunflower seeds.
The lettuce I have on hand is Romaine and I don’t have spinach so this is the only green I’ll be using. I’m omitting the pepperoncini, sunflower seeds and feta cheese , but it should still be a very good salad. I’ll be sprinkling some mozzarella cheese on mine.
It’s to be hot today, in the low 90’s and a salad for dinner sounds perfect to me .
I heard from DS#4 this morning. He’s been driving to visit us and he was in West Virginia. Not very far away and should be here by this evening. I’m so excited to see all of them! The last time I saw them is when we visited them in 2019.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday !
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them and they bless you, the giver.

with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters and EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

We can all make a difference. All we have to do is share what we have.
How exciting to see your DS #4 and family! That salad sounds wonderful; just wish I had someone who likes salad to share it with.
