Hello one and all! This is mostly just an excuse for me to update my webpage :). Hehe
We are entering the 24 day of lent!!! And I really don't know if I can make it. Sixteen more days without chocolate?! Whoever invented lent needs to have their head checked...Though I suppose I do too for participating in it. For the fourth year in a row (excluding last year when I tried to give up pork...but that only lasted like two days, so for all intensive purposes I really didn't participate in lent last year) I have given up chocolate. What a stupid thing for me to choose! It's so painful! I even had a dream the other night that there was chocolate in front of me, but I couldn't eat it because of lent and I wanted it really really badly, and I tried to convince myself to have some, but I dind't in the end. I hate lent. I used to think that it was a good idea because it teaches people self dicipline, but now I just think it's an excuse to torture people. Not that I'm going to quit I've (kinda) gone 24 days chocolate free, I'm sure that I can manage another 16. I must admitt that I'm kind of proud of myself this year. This is the closest I've ever come to keeping lent. Like I said before I quit last year after like two days (cause my dad yelled at me for not eating his supper and cooked pork on purpose). And ever other year I have at least once made the conscious decision to eat chocolate because I was at a birthday party with a scrumptious looking chocolate cake (or something to that effect). But this year, I have fought off all attepmts made by inconsidereate people to make me eat chocolate. I have not once consciously broken my lent promise. I have broken it. By accident. Especially one the first few days. But that was just cause I wasn't yet used ot the idea that I couldn't eat chocolate, so I'd have a peice of chocolate cake then realize afte that I wasn't supposed to be eating chocolate. But I don't count those accidental breakings of lent. What relly matters is when you want it, but say no because you can't. Which I have done :(. I don't like this one bit. I hate lent. I want it to be over so that I can have some cadbury's mini eggs, or a nice steaming glass of hot chocolate, or....I'm torturing myself :(.
I think that's why I actually find lent painful this year, because I have been trying so hard to keep it.
But it's over half done. I'm on the home stretch now! I can do this....go me!!!
Anyway, I should get to bed :)
Tis late and I'm tired, and I've said pretty much all i have to say about lent
I love you everyone :)
God
