I had good intentions of writing on this blog more frequently but I had a rough summer. My feet were numb until the middle of May and I started my Copaxone shots. I barely made it to Mass for most of the summer. In fact, I just started going again about four weeks ago!
I was very upset about missing Mass for so long on so many levels! I love going and not feeling well enough to go was making me really depressed. But that's passed and I am back at it!
We have been going on Saturday night which isn't quite like Sunday morning but it's still Mass. Sunday morning just has a different feel to me but I will say, I love going to Mass at night when it's dark at five o'clock, so soon, I'll be happier with it.
Bill and I started teaching CCD again. This year, we have fourth graders, which at first I was nervous about but it turns out, they're a lot easier than second graders! Plus, we can relax and not worry that they are learning all they need to for First Reconciliation and First Communion! It's a great group and I had a lot of them in the class I taught, my first year of teaching, two years ago when they were in second grade.
Bill has started leading a group of seventh graders at youth group, which he is really enjoying. I'm not great with that age group, so I am not helping out with that! But he's got a really nice partner and Sunday nights seem fun.
We also went to the blessing of the animals recently which was really nice. Our dog, Leo, is a barker, but he behaved, although would not drink the holy water when it was offered to him. He got sprinkled, though!
Hopefully, now that I'm feeling better, I'll have more energy and time to write here again!
