Oh sweet nothings....

So yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Most every year I give up sweets because during the holidays I get his incredibly sweet tooth! So once again....goodbye candy....goodbye cookies....goodbye ice cream....goodbye cake (don't eat that really)....goodbye pie...goodbye sugar...til we meet again on Easter....maybe!

One year I gave up soda and I didn't drink it again for like three years! So I'm really going to try my darndest to not give into sweets after Lent is up and keep up my discipline. I'm not just giving up sweets, but I'm also striving to be a better person. Being there for my family and friends no matter what (although I'm usually there in a heartbeat). But just listening more instead of giving my opinion unless they ask. And focus on the good in life. Although at times this can be hard, when so many things seem to be going wrong. I can only look for the good in all situations. Cause there usually is a silverlining at the end of the road...is that the right saying?? Well you know what I mean.

Anyway, til next time...eat sweets for me! haha

I've been doing okay with my Lent promise...I've only let a few vulgar words slip. Rhys even said he'd give up cussing (the F word) for me for Lent so that I have a kind of support system! YAY!
