Lent
I'm not a particularly religious person but grew up in a religious household. As children, my parents encouraged us to give up something for Lent. Usually, that meant we had to give up sweets and chocolate. It sucked, especially as a teenager, but we got used to it. I've done some variation of giving something up almost every year.
This year, I'm trying something different. Along with giving up soda (I've been much too friendly with Diet Coke as of late), I've decided to write every day. I'm not putting other restrictions or rules on it. I just have to write every day for the next 47 days. I'm cautiously optimistic.
I used to write constantly. Now I'm lucky if I get a personal email out before I fall asleep at night. I'm not sure when I stopped writing but I'm sad about it. I have a gift and I'm not sure why I don't use it. Yes it takes work but I have no problem fitting time in for television or internet surfing. My goal is to use that time to write instead of veg.
We'll see how it goes...
