For many people Lent is about giving something up. I've done it myself...chocolate, sweets, etc.
How about adding something instead? The next six weeks could be dedicated to stepping out in praying, being more thankful, trying new things, allowing space for joy in one's life...the possibilities are practically endless.
For myself, I'm going to spend the time flexing my creative muscle. Every day during the season I'll be more intentional about writing something, whether it's here, in my personal journal, or wherever.
I think one of the keys to any kind of exercise like this is not to be too legalistic about it. The last thing any of us need is another set of dos and don'ts. But it can be a good opportunity to stretch the self a bit and see what we're capable of.
Anyone else want to join me in this adventure? I'll let you know how my experience goes. I'd like to hear about any of your journeys as well. Keep me posted!
