Fat Tuesday

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday.  The first day of Lent.  Last year, along with giving something up, (which I do every year,) I decided to do an act of kindness everyday.  I enjoyed doing it so much, that I am going to do it again this year.  Whether it is as simple as leaving a treat in a coworker’s mailbox or cleaning snow off a neighbor’s car, I will find something to do everyday for someone else.

It was so much more rewarding than just giving something up.  I still plan on doing that too though.  I love to indulge in a sweet treat after dinner each night.  During Lent, I try to give that up.  Most years, I am successful at it.  Somehow being tied to “Lenten Guilt,” makes me stick to it, because it never works any other time of the year!
