Thank you for sharing this Sarah!
I would think it might (maybe not) be easier for someone who always observed Shabbat from when they were young as that is what they are accustomed to.
For someone to live their whole life not observing and then diving in full throttle, that must be very difficult.
So I'm happy you found your way to get accustomed to it and now see how much easier it is. Plus the fact you see the joys just adds to the whole Shabbat experience.
And yes, I think not only Shabbat, but Judaism in whole teaches us structure and discipline. And what better teacher do we have than G-d Himself!!
