Today is a good day.
I spent time with people I love and my daughter Libby, which is always a treat if it goes well. She is 16.
I counted today as a blessing for we simply just "were" together.
My thoughts today are large. Lent is supposed to be "private". What we choose to give up and do for Lent,is supposed to be in Secret. We are not supposed to advertise what we "gave up for Lent".....but rather do small things secretly that nobody ever sees....except god. Interesting.
So, today.....I admit that I caught myself not once but three times, breaking what I would describe as a fast from judgement, an unkind word, or even gossip.....but I withheld my despite to say "Oh, it is Lent.....I shouldn't be saying such things or thinking such things". It is rather a lesson to me that I was aware of it for a change.
Simple as that.
Happy Lent, Holy Lent.
As simple as that, and as hard as that!
