Well, today has been a nice day. Have been out for a nice drive with the Ladies 1st Hockey Team and watched them loose 5-0. But that wasn't too bad, though it meant that I couldn't make the Ash Wednesday Mass..... Drat!!
Since getting back to Uni I've been accused of slander (which is novel) and shouted at...... but am still cheerfull
But what I was thinking of was Ash Wednesday and Lent. A period of fourty days (not including the Sundays, they're fast days already) in which we're expected to give something up, and hopefully not slip up during that time. More recently, it has become more and more popular to take something else up. Or rather, spend the time that you save not doing whatever you've given up by doing something constructive...... silent prayer, reading passages in the Bible, helping out in the local soup kitchen. Noisy prayer I suppose, you get the idea I'm sure!!
This year I've decided to give up chocolate and sweets. Something slightly simplier than last year and not quite so hard, but still depraving myself of nice things!!!
