When I first started blogging, you linked to one of my posts...unknown to me, and suddenly I had readers! :) I had to come over here to find out what was going on...lol. Anyway, many of them are still regulars to my blog. I know you do that kind of thing all the time. I wish I could give you a special award, maybe for being the kindest, most thoughtful and generous blogger in the whole blogosphere! Bet no one would disagree with that!

I can tell you what I'm NOT doing for Lent - making myself a long list of my own ideas and then failing each one...lol. I'm hoping the Holy Spirit will lead me in how to make this Lent a fruitful one. I DO know that we will be focusing on virtues here. My daughter and I have been discussing them a lot and I thought studying and practicing the virtues in a greater way would be helpful for us.

This was our first week without much new snow but that's about to change...lol! <br /><br />Well, I knew I had PPD but it was very hard for me to differentiate what stemmed from exhaustion, the MG, and the PPD. I guess I was overwhelmed. Things did get better, thankfully. <br /><br />Thank you for your kind words, Ceil!

You really 'get around' the blogging world, don't you? And we get the benefits. <br /><br />I am so sorry that you had to deal with PPD. I think sometimes people don't even realize they have it. Only looking back do they see that something was wrong. How wonderful of you to share your story, and to share your MG too. I hope that is not flaring up for you?<br /><br />You are a very supportive person Mary. We all benefit from your friendship and generosity. <br />Blessings to you,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-53718173721909039122014-02-28T07:31:50.454-05:002014-02-28T07:31:50.454-05:00Hi Anabelle,

Those months were a blur. I'm sorry that you were affected by PPD too. It's tough on mothers. The lack of good sleep only compounds the problem. <br /><br />On the other hand, think of how happy the souls in Purgatory must have been ;) Nothing is ever wasted with Catholics...lol. <br /><br />Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-87426313921511039312014-02-27T22:56:19.029-05:002014-02-27T22:56:19.029-05:00Yes to Heather's blog.

I've been low on enthusiasm recently but today I am smiling. Thank you so much! <br /><br />I wonder if you would mind me stealing your fantastic idea. I also do a lot of reading but don't always have time to stop and comment. A favourite post post is a wonderful way to show some appreciation as you said.<br /><br />I shall enjoy reading your favourite posts!
