My reflections here often grow out of my quiet prayer time.
I don't claim to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. To my mind, that describes someone who prays morning and evening prayer daily, along with the office of readings. However, I do try to pray the last of these each morning. I find some real gems, especially in the extracanonical reading each day, with which I tend to be less familiar than the daily scripture reading.
Occasionally, I'll get midway through the day and realize that my mind wandered during my prayer time, because I lack the slightest recollection of that day's readings. At home, it's a simple enough matter to open my breviary and refresh my memory, often with an, "Oh, yeah," but also frequently with "Wow. I really missed that!" Fortunately, there's an online solution too, a great site to which I've added to my links list.
