So here's what I'm doing for Lent this year:

Giving up gossip. I did this last year and it was a total failure. Once you stop talking about people, you realize how much of your conversations revolve around talking about people lol. But I'm going to try harder this year. And I think Joe Reis is doing it with me. I just want to quit talking about people behind their backs. Regardless of what I have to say - good or bad - I will say it when they are present, or ask them to tell people.

Praying before I eat or drink ANYTHING. My great-grandfather used to say the blessing over everything, even half a candy bar... I didn't know him well, but that's the one thing I do know about him. I would love to emulate him in this way and it'll remind me to be thankful that I actually have something to eat.

Bread and water fasts. Enough said.

Keeping a journal of all the things that I see around the City that make my heart swell. I swear, every time I get on the subway I see some adorable/hilarious/heartwarming scene that completely makes my day. I want to start writing them down and having a record for when I'm starting to lose faith in humanity..

I hope I'm not spreading myself too think but I thin giving up one thing and adding two isn't too much.

Under Construction

Hello! If you're here, it's probably because you followed me from my tumblr blog doubtingansley.tumblr.com. I'm currently in the process of moving my more blog-y posts over to this page and streamlining everything a bit more. Bear with me! Soon to come: an explanation of why I left tumblr.
