Lent

Hm. I forgot about Lent. I'm not Catholic, but I like the idea of giving something up for a while to see what happens.

Of course, the problem is that I've been experiencing "Clean Living" (with one exception) and have nothing left to give up. Drinking, which would have been up for consideration, I've already given up. Same with any sort of bad food, and I've never been a junk food junkie anyway. I don't drink coffee, and the tea I do drink tends toward the healthy kind. The only thing I conceivably could give up would be pot, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that, so soon after getting a reliable connection.

So it seems as though I've reached a point where I can't cut anything out. Where does that leave me?

I suppose it leaves me at a pretty enviable spot, really. I've managed to lighten my load a little bit, and maybe that means that I'm at a point where my focus shifts to building, to adding things.

Which makes sense. I'm looking for new responsibilities, new challenges. I'm feeling like now is a good time for that.

Speaking of adding new responsibilities, I have to hang out with some friends, so this entry is about to be cut short.

Cheers,

The Magus
