Lent '10

Like in years past, this season of Lent brought about the absence of candy in my life.  For no particular reason, this year seemed exceptionally difficult (I think it's getting even harder)!  I've kept my promise/sacrifice and have not eaten any candy- and for those of you that really know me, it's a difficult challenge to say the least.  The count down has begun, 5 days to go...

Psychologically it's weighed heavy on my mind... these 40+ days without candy.  I had dreams of "cheating" on my sacrifice.  I would be aware, only after eating, that I was not supposed to be eating candy and wake up feeling guilty!  I can't ever recall this omission ever effecting me this way.  I am thankful they were just dreams!
