Ash Wednesday

With 40 days left until easter finally arrives I have decided that I am going to participate in Lent this year. Some might say since I am already giving up desserts until my birthday that the smart thing to do would just to extend that until Easter. Well my friends, I just couldn't think of going a minute longer of this dreadful challenge than I already have to. So I decided that I would give something else up. I was talking to a co-friend (co-worker who is also a friend) of mine and he wanted to give something up as well. So we picked...


Red Meat

So I was feeling really good about this decision. Its going to be a piece of cake. This is only due to the fact that I don't even like red meat. I will eat it on occasion if its the only thing around or if someone else is cooking for me but I by no means crave or desire it.
With that said I started feeling like I was cheating a little bit. So I decided that I would add something to my daily routine that would actually better my life.

The Made Bed



There is something so peaceful about a bed that is made. So currently my bed is the calm within the storm... but I am hoping that the calmness might spread to other areas of the room.

So for lent:
No red meat and a made bed everyday before I leave the house.
