Tomorrow will test my Lenten discipline to the utmost. The Smudgelet and I have been invited out to dinner.... and the Smudgelet's request has been granted by our indulgent hostess: banoffee pie for pudding! So not only will I have to forgo the banoffee pie, but I shall have a chance to focus my attention on how fortunate I am to have a piece of unadulterated fruit.
Seriously, though, I have never undertaken a Lenten discipline which has been so beneficial to my spiritual wellbeing... and probably my mental and emotional wellbeing too. This contentment thing really is working, God is granting me a real awareness of my blessings and I find myself naturally coveting far less. I even had a long talk about it with a colleague today. It's easy to say the words, but I find myself truly experiencing a peace with my situation.
I need a bit more discipline, though - somehow I've got to get a service prepared for Sunday. I knew it was coming, but hadn't really taken proper notice of the date.... YET AGAIN! Also it looks like I may have to go back to work later today as, after a day of archiving paperwork, I find myself unable to find the diary which I last saw on the desk where I was working. I have a horrible feeling I've archived it!!!
Now, what healthy thing can I make for tea that will take my mind off this desire for forbidden fruit?
