I don't pray the Rosary every day, but it is a very calming and beautiful way to spend time with God on those days I do pray it. And my mother made me a beautiful Rosary when I had my First Communion as a child:

That *is* a beautiful rosary, Celeste, and what a special treasure to have from your mother.
Best wishes to you during Lent and on through the year!

Your Rosary is just beautiful, and how special to have one dating from your First Communion. I'm afraid my First Communion Rosary broke a long time ago.
I began praying the Rosary daily when I joined the Legion of Mary. I'm afraid I've fallen out the habit, but I want to try to get accustomed to doing it daily again now that Lent has begun. I love praying it in the middle of the day, taking a little twenty-minute retreat from the world to reflect upon the life of Christ.
