It's Fat Tuesday...that seems to fit in so many ways!!
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, and I am really excited for Lent this year. The last year has been filled with many ups and downs, and I am viewing this Lenten season as a time of renewal for myself.
I have decided to do two things for Lent this year. The first is to give up all things Dunkin Donuts. I go there far too much, spend money I shouldn't, and eat things that my body just doesn't need. My thought is that by giving it up for Lent I will truly hold myself accountable to it, and quit the habit I have failed to quit so many times in the last year. It will be a good thing for my wallet, and my waist line.
The second thing I am doing is the reason for this blog. I wanted to keep a journal/blog for every day of Lent. I want to write down at least one thing I found joy in that day. I always try to look on the positive side of things, but some days are just bad days. We all have them! My goal for Lent is to find joy in every day, and record it. I feel that it will help me to always focus on the joy in my life and find it in places I might not have noticed before. God wants us to be joy filled, and this is just my way of truly paying attention to the joy and the gifts.
So I hope you enjoy what you read, and that maybe it will help you to find your joy in every day as well. Here is an article to look at in case you haven't found your Lenten observance yet...I hope you enjoy it.
