Things are in such an upheaval for us right now, because I have been traveling so much I haven't even been consistently attending one parish, just finding a parish wherever I am at. I miss my weekly classes and the constant contact with real, live practicing Catholics on a personal level. Anyway, I need to be making a point to include more time for God not just hoping to fit it in somewhere which is what I have been doing this last month and a half. Thanks again for the ideas!

I don't know yet. I'm only 5 weeks postpartum so maybe it is just the baby blues effecting my spiritual life. Or maybe it is a combination. But thanks for the suggestions. I loved Mother Teresa's Secret Fire, BTW. My husband and I were just discussing whether I'm just going through a spiritual dry spell or have postpartum depression. I don't know yet.
