Goodness...what a day to start Lent!! Today would have been the typical day I would have "needed" to go to Dunks...just for the comfort of the donut. It was a crazy morning and I would have been craving that comfort food.
B took a tumble down some of the stairs at home today, and gave herself a gash over her right eye. She seemed to be OK, but better safe than sorry..so the day started with a visit to her Dr. to get her all checked out. Clean bill of health and no stitches needed and B was on her merry way. Laughing and smiling the whole time. We are blessed to have such a happy little girl.
Work has been busy with lots of random things popping up that need attention, so attention they get.
So today what brings me joy is the fact that Lent is a time of renewal. Before giving up Dunks for Lent I would have been all about getting something from there to comfort me, but since I gave it up for Lent I refused to let myself go. I gave it up for something greater than myself, and I can't falter before day one is even over!
With all of that, my sense of joy is in that I am succeeding and the sense of renewal I have in the process. It would be so easy to cave and justify it. But I am making the choice not to, and it will be great in the long run. It's what giving up Dunks was all about for me.
Joy in the renewal ahead for me, that is my joy for today. That and no stitches or head injuries ;)
