Today marks Ash Wednesday and the beginning of celebrating Lent, or Christ's last 40(+) days before his resurrection. Usually I celebrate by giving up something and making a sacrifice as to acknowledge Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Typically I don't attend Ash Wednesday services and acknowledge my sins or forsake something by spreading ashes on my forehead. Actually I've never done this. One day it would be nice to witness a ceremony but for now, a symbolic ash on the forehead is enough.
This year I'm adding something I want to work on. Adding yet one more thing, has the potential to be just as difficult as giving something up. I plan to write on this forum daily as an attempt to begin writing again. Lately I have felt compelled to write the millions of things running wild around my brain, but have lacked the diligence in actually planting my toosh in a chair and letting my fingers roam the keyboard.
Why should this be so difficult?
Time.
My time has been devoted elsewhere. Here's hoping my time will be better spent, even if only for a few sentences each day.
What are you giving up or taking on?
