Lent is upon us!  I admit I was not especially looking forward to this season this year.   After all, St. JM Escriva once wrote something like “our mortifications should not mortify others…” and the effects of my current pregnancy are already doing just that.  I’m already grumpy, abstaining from alcohol, reducing my caffeine, and not eating many foods I enjoy because the thought of them still makes me want to gag.  [Although yesterday I was hit with an enormous craving for a Big Mac, which I indulged in for dinner - go figure!]  So the only thing “different” in my life right now is that I’m reading the daily meditations from In Conversation With God.  It’s an outstanding book.  I’m also going to quit blogging here for the remainder of Lent.  (And maybe beyond.  This pregnancy is really taking a toll on my mind right now.)  The only blogging I’ll be doing is here.  Ciao!
