Monday was also Max's birthday. It's strange not having him home to celebrate. But I wrote a meditation and it's a gift. I don't know whether he's had a chance to read it, but I hope he does. This year I purposely chose to write the Daily Gospel Reflection for dates having some meaning for me--the kids' birthdays and our acceptance into the Church. I find it amazing that even when I've chosen random dates, the Holy Spirit always leads me to choose what I need to learn the most.
Anyway, I'm going to attempt another round at detoxing from the painkillers. I never take the same thing more than two days in a row but it's ridiculous when you take something every single day, even if it's just an aspirin. It's not normal. It's frustrating when all the things you try work for a while and then stop. I bought a TENS unit (read the 2nd review--it's hilarious) but my hair was getting in the way so had it cut short. Not thrilled with it, but it's Lent and I can give up vanity too.I hope those of you who are celebrating Lent are finding yourself growing closer to Jesus. And if you've failed at your Lenten resolutions, begin again and again. Tomorrow's a new day!

I wish you a speedy recovery and many Lenten blessings.
I remember the first time I was not with DD on her birthday. It felt unreal, we who were there and so vividly remember the original.
I wish you relief and healing and mercy in this holy time.
Thank you, Johnell. Already I discovered that two of the deadlines are in mid-March.
Mirka, so true about our vivid memories. And thanking God for His tender mercies. And Happy Purim.
Praying that the detox will be successful and that the pain will lessen again!
Happy birthday to Max! It must be so weird not having him there to celebrate... but wonderful to see what a great man he's becoming.
