Ash Wednesday

so what did you give up for Lent?

Some habits are hard to break. Sacrifice, deprivation, self criticism. If we give up something, we offer it to up to God and we will be better. God will be happier with us and maybe we will be happier with our selves for the sacrifice. You can try anything out for a short time like 21 days, and maybe 40 days is a charm.

Easter this year falls on Sunday March 31, 2024 ! What might you do with some consistency from now until then.??? I don’t want to over promise and under deliver. I would like to write and post a blog every day until then.

Whatever has been in the way for me moving toward publishing my work I ask that all obstacles be removed. Perfectionism is one, fear of criticism and the old not being good enough , what if no one reads it or I don’t get LIKES and claps?

Maybe I could just write… make a list of all the things I could have written about, thoughts that flew into my head and languished and then as if for want of a better word.. I could make a list of all the poems that want to be written unsolicited commentary or advice and then before you know it 40 days would go by and there would be a body of work, I would make a mark and leave a few bread crumbs to find. It is the least a fully developed Seven OH elder could do!
