#104

I am finding myself in a bummed mood. I tried calling my ma, both sisters, one brother, and my nana. No one answered. And they will not be returning my calls - I have lived in Europe for almost three years now, and never get calls from my family. Well, Ma calls. Other families have regularly scheduled Skype dates, and I can't even get my family to call. Nice.

So yeah, there is that. And I am feeling like the husband always puts his wants and needs above mine. That gets old. Especially after six years.

And I am struggling with myself. I wanted this season of Lent to really be about myself and my devotion to God. I wanted to see a change in myself that would reflect my love and my faith. Instead, less than one week in to the season, I am struggling. Internally beating myself up and apologizing to Him and realizing I generally suck at commitments.

That is where I am today. I total Debbie Downer.

So your Irish for today is a blessing. Because everyone needs a heartfelt blessing.

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
