Why no, I'm not Catholic. But I work at a Jesuit school and I'm getting married to an Episcopal dude so I need to flow with it this year. I'm giving up negativity and replacing it with thoughtful, thankful reflection. Which you might be saying "but you're hardly every negative" and I don't mean in thought and action. I'm talking inaction (not responding to emails/comments, not sending thank you notes, not saying I love you and calling people, which breeds a sense of "worthlessness" which makes me feel bad for them and for me and it just becomes a negative avoidance cycle...that kind of negativity). So for lent, Thoughtful, thankful reflection minus negativity = happiness. Happy Lent.
Saw this on Chris J's blog yesterday. But since I had JUST finished off a great post #2 for the day, figured I'd postpone publication of this until Thursday. When I'm twiddlin' my fingers running an accomodated LSAT. At least I get paid for that.
