In the meantime, I wanted to share that on this Ash Wednesday I am starting 40 special days. When I was growing up I always had a few Catholic friends who gave something up for lent. It was usually something like pop, chocolate, candy and sweets. Honestly, I never really understood how 40 days of no chocolate would make someone a better Christian. I understand the symbolism, and appreciate it, but as a non-catholic, non-denominational gal, it wasn't for me.
Again this year I am not giving up anything. Instead I am committing to be more thankful. Each day until Easter I will write a thank you card. I have much to be thankful for and often times I forget to express my gratitude. Rather than giving something up, I want to start giving something back. If you aren't giving something up--- come join me.
And because no post is complete without a picture of Charlie...
