Today is the beginning of Lent. To some it is the period leading up to the Holy Week called Easter and the preparation of the believers through prayer, penance, repentance, almsgiving, atonement and self-denial. Self- denial, is the part most associate with and recognise. Lots ask, what shall I give up, what shall I do without, so here is mine. During this period of lent and in the spirit of self-denial:
I will not....
...will not be consumed
I will not entertain... in any shape or form
and finally, definitely no...
In turn, I will reverse my apathy to...
and ... will definitely be a positive change
oh, and I will definitely start doing ... again.
There, that should do it, I feel better already. I can't see it leading to my own personal enlightenment but in approximately six weeks time maybe I will be able to say, with a smile and a wee chuckle, the gates of love have budged an inch I can't say much has happened since.... though I have a smile on in anticipation, its closing time...
