40 Days

The Lenten Journey.......what will mine look like? What will I be giving up this lent season? How will I grow and what will I discover? As the season approached I began to think about the question that most of my family would be asking me which is "what are you going to give up for Lent?" Each year I think about what I should do and then if I could actually do it. My Aunt Pat decided to give up Facebook for Lent. Now that is commitment......I'm not sure I could do that one. After much debate I finally decided that I would give up one thing that I like to enjoy on a daily basis and in this case something that I liked to enjoy multiple times a day and honestly I am someone dependant on this pleasure. I also thought Lent is supposed to be about learning and growing too not just giving pleasures up. So I will be giving up pop including my all time favorite Mt. Dew in a can- ice cold! I also set a goal to do something that I've always wanted to do. I have secretly wanted to be a real writer. The problem is that I always get held up when it comes to the ideas actually getting on paper. So in my attempt to become a better writer I will be writing daily for the next 40 days during my Lenten journey. I hope that in the end I've lost a few pound from the lack of pop and that I've become more comfortable and gain some confidence in my writing.
