The weight of grief . .

It’s easier to say we are in physical pain than to say, “My heart is breaking.” Everywhere you look as you go about your lives in town there are people all around you who are experiencing the ravaging effects of grief or worry. It’s the people you shop among at the 10Box and General Dollar store, your friends, work colleagues, social media acquaintances, and for some, the people you may see sitting at your dining table. It could be you. Life is challenging and attempts to break us down sometimes and nothing and no one can protect us from this reality.

Cooking with Mumzy!

Good day everyone, I hope this week’s recipes find you all in good health and happiness. For my family, we have been doing okay, I have had Covid so Robert, myself and my family have all been quarantined together for the past week and a half. Not complaining just wish that since I have to be off work, it were different circumstances so we could enjoy doing something. But at least we are all in pretty good health and we are together. I am still sane not sure how but I am. LOL. I am going to be honest it has been crazy around here with all the different symptoms that each one of us have. We have some that are the same and then each one of us have different ones. We have all continued to do little things around the house while we continue to work writing articles as we can, probably this newspaper is what has kept me together. This Covid thing is really crazy, and I will never say I understand it, but I am thankful that I am surviving it. I hope you all enjoy these recipes as much as I have enjoyed preparing them for my family and very much enjoy sharing them with all of you. As always, Remember the Little Things in Life they are very important.
