For me, it's making sure I get all the water required, and I realizing now many times I thought I was hungry - I was actually thirsty. So I take a drink first now, and then eat what I am allowed. <br />I love the idea of practicing daily gratitude, no matter the circumstances. :)LA Botcharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045857399816360885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-3437139271801566202016-02-23T13:44:05.483-06:002016-02-23T13:44:05.483-06:00I grew up disconnected although Dad was raised as ...I grew up disconnected although Dad was raised as a Catholic and Mom as an Episcopalian. They were poor and never felt comfortable in church, at least that is what I guessed. I like the idea of adding good habits when you run out of ideas to give up. Lent is one of the few things I agree with about religion. It makes one aware of their life.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-52917922575401546022016-02-23T12:41:19.988-06:002016-02-23T12:41:19.988-06:00I'm not so much on the giving up things for le...I'm not so much on the giving up things for lent. <br /><br />joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-38511911098008873982016-02-23T12:16:07.664-06:002016-02-23T12:16:07.664-06:00Oh, you are such a sweetheart.

I can't hold a candle to you, but I try to live a good life everyday and not just during Lent. I know, it's an excuse us lapsed Catholics use to get over the guilt. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-37924125462601061742016-02-23T10:44:16.082-06:002016-02-23T10:44:16.082-06:00I think you're one of the most grateful people...I think you're one of the most grateful people I've ever met on the Internet.

I taught in an Catholic school but I suddenly realized that the rules go two different way, their ways only. I believe in God and I always will. Jesus is my rock but after many years where many things in the Catholic church bothered me, the building itself is not important but knowing God is the real important thing in my life. I still do the many things that were ingrained into me, like Lent & Good Friday & Easter. <br /><br />Have a wonderful day my friend. See ya.<br /><br />Cruisin Paul Cruisin Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137904435537645207noreply@blogger.com
