In addition to giving things up, this year I'm trying to add some things in: specifically, a walk with David after dinner on nights when we don't have other obligations, and a little art in my free time. I tend to waste free time, and often put off large art projects until I have a big chunk of available time, like the weekend. For lent, I'm just working on small little low-stress projects, and it's been fun so far! I wonder how many I'll complete in six weeks?
Four pieces so far! |
If you practice lent, what are your plans?
I usually give something up for Lent but this year I decided not to because I feel like I've been through enough with this pregnancy between gestational diabetes and all the blood thinner injections and other poking and prodding! I've given up social media the last 2 Lents, which was such a good exercise for me, but this year I didn't want to give it up since our baby will be born during Lent and I selfishly wanted to share his or her arrival and be able to share photos of the baby with far-away friends and family!
