In response to my last post in addition to the fact that Lent has just dawned upon us, I thought that it would be a great time to start taking action against my self-distain. Many of you know that it is a common practice to give something up for lent (sometimes take something on) to better ones self. I have decided this lent to give up anything excess. This includes eating out, buying unnecessary items for myself (such as clothes), and so on. I am taking the money that would have gone to my thoughtlessly self-indulgence and giving it to some one who needs it. I havn't thus far decided who or what cause I would be giving it to, but that decision doesn't necisarrily have to be made just yet. If your wondering how I would go about determining how much money I theoretically would have spent, I am comparing my budget/bills from last month and taking the difference as money saved.
I post this for you all to read in hope that you will challenge yourself this Lent to better yourself and maybe even better society for a mere 40 days (February 9 - March 27 not including Sundays). I urge you to take this challenge even if you don't celebrate this christian tradition as a self test and sacrifice. After all... you never know what you will get out of it and learn about yourself.
Oh yeah. And tomorrow Billy turns the big 2-0, so if you know him be sure to wish him a happy birthday!!!
