First Sunday of Lent- a couple days in

Hi guys,
So I've been on my Lenten schedule for only a couPle days so far.
I'm finding that when I start morning or evening prayer I get interrupted. I'm not really sure what to do about that. It's beginning to get easier but Particularly in the morning I find myself more focused on how long it's taking rather than what's being said.
I do also find myself sad that I'm the only one doing this. Although I'm grateful to my friend Ben from Vocare who emailed me to tell me I want keeping my schedule. I appreciate that.
I heard from the interns director at the monastery. A bit early considering the application deadline isn't until the 31st. He had concerns about my safety being able to get around. I waited until the next day to email him Bach. I got advice, prayed about it, and slept on it. I'm very happy with what I came up with. He emailed me back thanking me for my thoughtful response and that they were reviewing applications. Now the hard part, waiting.
Other than that, the structure is helping. I'm up early, still adjusting to that and the early-morning quiet.
I think Sundays are a good day to relax my schedule, although I may continue to do the office, I'm not sure yet.
Until next Sunday.
Blessings for a holy Lent,
Nancy
