Lent is Depressing
Lent falls on the most depressing, ugly seaason of the year. Mid to late winter is yucky. Wet, grey, brown, cold, icey, YUCK. Plus I have to come up with meat-free meals for Fridays, and that's hard! Here comes the cinnamon toast every week.
It didn't take long for me to blow my Lenten resolution - I vowed to give up anger for 6 weeks. It lasted about an hour, and then something happened to totally infuriate me (and rightly so). I really fought hard not to give in to the anger, to just let it go, but it was impossible. So I have to start all over again...
I need a little sunshine and warmth. I bet this is a post I have made every year around this time. Places like Florida and the southwest really look attractive to me right now. What luck to be a native Ohioan that probably will never mnove out of state. Oh well...at least the hay prices are good here!
You know what's got me worried? The fact that things have been going good...too good! Is that silly or what? I mean, things have been working out, problems have been resolving, and my life has smoothed out. So I sit here and instead of enjoying my wonderful, comfortable, fun life, I am waiting for the shoe to drop, for the disaster that is sure pending to strike at any moment.
OK, enough of that. I need to live for today and enjoy what I have, and what is going right for me. Hey, this doesn't always happen, so I need to sit back and relish the experience!
