Add to that the fact that NJ is a big state made of lots of small towns, that my main church is 1 hour 15 miles away and I can't drive to it yet on the crazy highway (more practice needed). Our other church is on town but we are not there much and the in town one is on the new calendar and our main church is on the old (as we are at home) so lots of liturgical disconnect and fasting times difference etc. With all of that, plus mono in my first year of marriage, and the fact that everyone works and has busy lives here, it's taking a bit longer. But I am seeking to focus on contentment and thankfulness and that can lead to being more in a pool of sunshine than in rain (the actual sunshine outside has helped too admittedly!). And I am slowly meeting people, it just takes time and effort...elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-44750347401236044532014-11-15T08:16:09.916-05:002014-11-15T08:16:09.916-05:00Oh, your bread looks so good - you have much to k...Oh, your bread looks so good - you have much to keep you busy.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503930255842185609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-67238063650664089792014-11-14T21:06:03.787-05:002014-11-14T21:06:03.787-05:00My goodness, you *have* been baking.

I struggled with that for years (still do, but less than before) since leaving our dear Ottawa parish. I enjoyed the article on loneliness, it's good advice. I'm also early for Nativity prep, I bought my lights tonight. God is truly with us, even if we sometimes forget. Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191610587849166747noreply@blogger.com
