So, today is the first day of Lent. Even though I don't consider myself Catholic any more per se, I am used to giving up things for Lent every year. Last year, I gave up sweets... which was kind of cheap because there were certain rules and things and everyone thought I was cheating...
Anyway, this year, I thought about it and decided that instead of giving something up, I would use these forty days to do nice things for other people. Call people more often, write letters... just on the whole be less harsh and selfish, and be more thoughtful and considerate. That's what I'm going to try to do at least. Random acts of kindness. I have no idea how this will work, especially because these first few days I'll be gone, but I reckon I'll think of something. I am hoping this is a better way to "celebrate" this season. And I hope ya'll have a great next few weeks. :-)
