*Disclaimer*
I wanted to also attach a little note to that last entry I wrote and say that, when I get frustrated, the way for me to let it out is on here. Please don't get worried that I'm falling into some sort of crazy mode. I'm fine really, this is just my way to vent. So while it may seem like I'm a total basketcase in my livejournal...in reality it's my way of getting all my crazy thoughts and frustrations out in a healthy way so that it doesn't affect the way I treat all of the incredible people in my life! Sometimes just putting things into words can be extremely cathartic for me.
It's Ash Wednesday. Did you know more people go to church on Ash Wednesday than on Christmas? The day of repentance, the day we can all acknowledge the fact that there are aspects of our lives that we aren't proud of. We wish to acknowledge our humanity; the fact that we aren't perfect. I think that although in a sense this may seem like a morbid holiday, it's one of my favorites. The Lenten season allows us to make sacrifices and recognize the little things we take forgranted each and everday...and we can never grow if we don't reflect. We become reminded of our mortality and the true importance of things unseen: that it is from ashes we came and to ashes we shall return.
Having that said I'm doing the unthinkable: giving up coffee. Today I had to drink tea, and while I like tea...it just wasn't the same. This is gonna be a toughie.
Monica and I are also going to volunteer on the night shift down at Ronald McDonald house as a part of being proactive about Lent. So if anyone wants to join us, you're all welcome!
