Difrent's Detachment - Attempts at It, Anyway

[DifRent]

A brightly lit field of flowers... a reprieve from the pain... yes, precisely what yesterday was.

This morning I went to Mass to, as I do all the time now, offer my pain joined to Christ's for her re-conversion and salvation. The homily was on depression. So many things seemed to come together. It can NEVER be a bad thing to come to realize more fully our dependence on God alone, and if nothing else comes of all this, that much certainly has. My faith has deepened, and I pray that when my days are more joyful than painful, I will remember to keep my faith at the center of my life. I regret that quite often before, it wasn't.

Enjoying a peaceful morning with coffee on Mom's porch now, will head back home this afternoon. She may or may not be there, since the OW is out of town through Wednesday. I'm determined to have a good afternoon/evening either way, with her around or not. It's a beautiful day, and I'm going to enjoy it for what it is.
