Welcome to the first day of Lent. That' right, it's Ash Wednesday and the party is over. Forty days until Easter, what temptations will you overcome on your journey through life.
The only "physical" sacrifice that I am making is to give up soda, or any other drink with high fructose corn syrup. They're not good for you and I don't need the extra calories. I should "be feeling the love" from the coffee shops as they will be my main supplier of caffeine. I may also take up yoga, but this is still under consideration.
The other thing that I will be working on is conquering apathy and laziness. I feel that I, more than most people, should know that none of us know the amount of time that we have on this Earth and I need to start making best of everyday given. Christa taught me this. I'm not ready to give all the details of what this means except to say it is time to put up or shut up. The few small projects that I have accomplished lately around the house have wet my appetite for more.
So your challenge today is to ask yourself, "what can I do today to improve my situation?" It is a simple question and I know you'll find the answer to be just as simple. Take that answer and act on it. I'm near certain that you will feel better about yourself even if you don't succeed. It is the challenge, and the journey, that matters.
Until next time.
Peace and Good Cheers,
Marty

It is my children that inspire me and my family that embolden me.
You'll miss soda, I'm sure. I eventually got re-addicted to diet soda, which I suppose is still bad but minus the empty calories!
Soda bad. Coffee good. Americano better.
