Lent 2012


I will start off by admitting, I'm not sure if I'm Catholic.  Yes, I was raised Catholic and when there are important masses to attend, I will be there in full spirit.  I do believe in god and do my best to maintain my spiritual side with prayer, keeping faith, and having hope.  I hope to be able to give a more definite answer after some time.  Moving on to the topic of lent, this year I gave up my biggest distraction, facebook.  I'm not going to lie, I did not do it as a sacrifice per se but I'm hoping what comes out of it will be positive.  I wanted to make time and energy so I will be able to work on relationships that are meaningful, my heart/spiritual side, and other things that will bring me happiness.  Today it has been a week since the start of lent.  The first day without facebook was hard but now I have my energy refocused on other things and I'm glad facebook is not there to distract me.  

It's been way too long...

Can't believe it's been seasons since I last posted.  I guess it's better then years.
