Great post. I especially liked and resonated with the insight that those days of struggle were truly the "good old days," but that it's hard to see that while living them. I hadn't seen the letter from Melania, so thank you for linking that. Please keep writing!
What Rose said about dying made me laugh out loud! As for background noise, I like some gentle, instrumental music on the background when I am doing chores or laundry or anything I find tedious. I have ADHD so concentrating is a struggle for me at the best of times, and I find the music keeps me focused. When I am doing something I enjoy, however, (reading, writing etc.) I need quiet.
Prayer slump. I get it. I feel so seen!

That's interesting that the music helps you stay focused. My husband and two of my children swear that is the case for them as well.
