How appropriate that today is called FAT Tuesday the day before Ash Wednesday... what to eliminate chocolate, coffee, bread, alcohol, etc...?? I'm not going to think about what I'm giving up, but be thankful for what I am gaining... It's time I start to appreciate the little things and what truly is important. I'm giving up the sweets & drinks to gain a healthy beginning. It only seems right since Jesus gave himself to us that we take a moment and appreciate the pure joy and make the absolute best of the LIFE he gave us! I personally want to dive into a more healthier lifestyle, not only for me but for my family. My girlfriend turned me on to the Mediterranean diet mainly for my husbands heart and blood pressure, but also it's a great meal plan for the whole fam! I also feel like the days get so busy and the weeks fly by that I am going to make a conscience effort to use my time wisely. I love to be outdoors so I am going to plan more bike rides with the kids, beach trips with the family, and more walks with my sweet boxers. I am MOM first and forever, but with the kids getting older I'm finally going to go after my dream and get my real estate license. Lent is a time to reflect and remember what it is that is important to us and make a conscious effort to make some positive changes. I will continue to go to church and tell God how much I appreciate the gifts in my life and vow to tweak the things that I take for granted... and simply make this season about being thankful not regretful...xo
Tuesday
Celebrate the season of Lent...xo
