Prayers for dont, she and her family have been much in my thoughts.
I have been reading through and praying along.
sad I think your DP is very wise in what he says about acceptance. This is not the same as not taking positive steps to aid recovery, but acceptance in so far as this too is part of life. One contemplative mediation I did a while ago I remember visualising all those suffering being held in God's love. And the people were linked together across the world, but also back through time. Suffering of whatever sort makes us feel very alone, but we are held in God's love with so many others across space and through time, really not alone.
musicposy i am sorry that you are no further forward with a diagnosis, how very frustrating. I will pray for respite for you and some improvements.
Orchid well done on getting out for your walk. This helped me no end when I was off work with stress and anxiety. I continue to pray for calm and a lack of eggshells for you [prayers] I hope the visit was okay, 60-90 mins is perfectly adequate.
Colabottles i will pray for you and your DH as you find a way through your situation.
bes prayers for calm in your house too.
I know if I add any more personals, I will miss people out; I have been intermittently praying for different posters as they come into my head, rather than systematically. But I will add prayers here for Edd who has a lot to deal with, for MHD for better health and the lovely Oma for all her support and a full recovery 
So, I don't tend to think of Lent so much as about repentance but about the temptation aspect. I am going to post separately as on phone and don't want to lose this post while I get my thoughts together
