Busy Summer and More Children = Less Blogging


Wondering why I haven't posted lately?

Well - ever since our new daughter arrived in June, I haven't had much time to write. This happened to me last August, when we took in two new children. It gets kind of crazy for a few months, and I find myself in a period of spiritual dryness. Then when the dust settles, I get back on the blogging wagon (and my spiritual life perks ups again too).

The five kids and I have been keeping busy with summer outings: library programs, the puppet wagon, the children's museums, the Minnesota Zoo, the MN Science Museum (the Pompeii exhibit is very neat), the movies, the lake, and the swimming pool. I can't complain, though. I've gotten a terrific tan this summer.

I really want to continue with this blog...it has been fun and satisfying, but I find myself wondering if I should forge ahead or throw in the towel??? Mmmm, I wonder if there is a prayer for discerning one's blogging future?

Jayne - I for one am very interested in learning more from you. About your faith and how you've taken in these children and made it work. My husband and I are discerning adoption and I have so much to learn from you. Would you consider posting on the subject of family/adoption? May God bless you and may Mary's prayers go with you always.s

Jayne: Nothing wrong with taking a blog break or even quitting the blog. Pray on it.

I'd be sorry to see you go.

Do keep the Catholic presence alive in blog land! Looking forward to more of your posts.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I'm leaning towards continuing this blog, and I'm certain that I will be writing on a more regular basis soon.
