Bluebird... My first grade nun told me that the Blessed Mother finishes your rosary for you if you fall asleep..that has always been such a great comfort to me as I drift off to sleep..as a little girl I used to imagine Mary sitting on my bedside just waiting for me to drift off...now..maybe it's menopause...but i can get in 6 or 7 rosaries and I am still wide awake!!! What's the deal with that??? Anyway...you are the first person I have heard of to say that. besides me...

Avalon, we were having this discussion at my Bible fellowship last week and someone said it. I had remembered hearing it years ago. It is a beautiful picture, isn't it? I used to also feel bad if I prayed the rosary and was so distracted that I didn't think I was focusing on the mysteries. I had also remembered someone saying praying it was like handing Mary a bouquet of roses. Then I realized that when your child hands you a bunch of half dead dandelions, it's just as precious as red roses. So I figured even if my rosary looked like the dandelions, Our Mother would still treasure it.

You know Dotsie, last year I had a whirlpool tub placed in my bathroom. Pure heaven and I just love filling the tub with smelly goods and relaxing. Here lately I have had my share of UTI's, so my tub use has been non-existant lately.
As for the middle of the night praying...tried it last night. Found myself praying then all of a sudden I'm asleep again. Didn't even take a sleep pill...
