Timing
February 25th, 2009
In the last few days, I’ve been remembering this old blog of mine, and I have been thinking about shutting down this little 3fc account. I am dismal about writing regularly. But, when I do (and, when I read others’ entries), I usually feel heartened and re-energized to keep plugging away at living healthfully. Imagine my surprise when, today, someone actually remembered me. That’s heavenly timing, if you ask me - a little urge for me not to shut down the blog and all the inspiration I need to start writing again.
Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent for Christians, and the day I’m supposed to start my Lenten discipline. Ha! Such ironic timing. My Lenten discipline was going to be fitting in some sort of exercise daily, yet today I am home from work with a nasty, feverish cold. The undisciplined part of me just wants to scrap today’s exercise, but that would defeat the entire purpose of the season for me. So, I’m off to do some gentle yoga, followed by a devotional. Then, it’s back to curling up in bed in my pjs.

And Thank You! Young lady, for remembering me. I’m trying to focus on the purpose of lent, which (I think)is about looking inward for your faith - and giving up the earthly pleasures is supposed to help you do this, kind of like fasting. I get the impression many folks focus on the “giving up” part as the main point of Lent, which is probably how I’ve mostly operated as well! I’m going to try to do both the giving up (haven’t decided what) and the inward looking and meditation. Whoo. Tall order for a not so tall woman!
Take Care, I’m so happy to see you too! RubyJean

The person who “remembered” you is back - and nagging you to flex your fingers and get back to blogging! Hope you are having a happy week-end.
