really want to work on this

I've gotten distracted by being very busy with other things, being tired and stressed from those things, and have not taken the time to keep up with my faith in the ways I'd like to. I haven't forgotten about it, not at all. I thank Allah daily for things that come up that I am thankful for, that go well, the beauty in nature, etc. My identification within myself of being Muslim solidifies each day. I do feel like I'm moving in the direction I want. However, I haven't been keeping up with prayer as much as I want, I think the other things and distraction haven't helped, though that's no excuse. I haven't been reading in the Qur'an in awhile either, I haven't taken the time for it. I was at a bookstore recently for some other things and did find a couple books about Islam I picked up. I won't have time to read them for a little while, but I do look forward to it. I miss praying when I don't do it, so Insha Allah I'll be more mindful of this and the benefits of prayer and get better at it.
