Outside My Window ...
It's still dark as daylight saving comes to an end soon. The birds make their wake up noises.

I am listening to...
Bird calls and a baby breathing quietly and older children planning various activities for the day.

To Live the Liturgy...
Planning Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Rosary Daily. Lenten sacrifices.

***
To Breathe Deeply...
Take one day at a time and try not to be discouraged about our situation.

***
Towards rhythm and beauty ...
Work on my own spirit of thankfulness and joy and help the children to work on this as well, with my example to help them.

I am thankful for ...
I hardworking and sacrificial Husband, loving and helpful children, and a precious baby girl.
