There are many things to call this Lenten journey - 'easy' is not one of them. I hesitate in mentioning what I am giving up, because I don't want my measly sacrifice to over-shadow what I have decided to 'take up.' This year, I decided to fore go wheat, gluten, dairy, high fructose corn syrup, and several other peripheral items. So in short, in addition to reading through an online publication called The Lenten Journey, I have also taken up intentionality. I have to think about everything I eat before I consume it.
I went in thinking it would be somewhat easy - how hard is it to eat healthy? (Did you know that most applesauce has high fructose corn syrup added?!) This has absolutely made me feel different about food. I don't like thinking about what I eat before I eat! I hate to cut this post short, but I need to work on homework!

The other day
The other day, I was telling a friend that if I ever had a blog I would blog about ______. Unfortuntely, that is the very reason I decided to blog. I simply forgot what was nagging my brain at the time.
I have a few friends who have started a blog this year. I find the concept of a "blog" to be an interesting one. Part diary, part public prose, part sounding board, part running commentary on life. Some people set out with a purpose - I have none, except to create a place where I can sneak away from the daily grind and share the chronicles of my life.
But for now, I am off to watch an episode of 24 with my husband.
