I'm a terrible Catholic. First, I totally forgot it was Ash Wednesday and ate a HUGE lunch and a medium sized dinner, and meat with both meals! Plus, I made an appointment to get a massage right smack in the center of mass time. Must work on this for next year!
I also can't figure out the whole giving-stuff-up-for-Lent business. Most people I know give up candy or chocolate or pop. A few people on Facebook have stated that they're giving up Facebook. I haven't figured out if I'm going to give anything up or just go on with my normal routines. Aside from sleeping, which I'm NOT giving up, and a cup of coffee pretty much daily, there's not a whole ton of indulgences that I allow myself.
One thing I do know: Ash Wednesday has reminded me to be thankful to God for all of my blessings, and show it in my thoughts, words, and deeds.
So, in short, thank you God for my baby girl, my wonderful husband, our beautiful house, our bank account which seems to be replenished just in the nick of time, our families, our health, our friends, and all the small things we take for granted every day.
