Okay, so here we go... Lent. Why is it that when you give up something for lent, you can't stop thinking about it? I rarely drink coffee when my husband isn't here. When I gave up coffee for lent, I would salivate when I drove by a Starbucks (I don't even like their coffee) Honestly, I think if I give up lima beans for lent, I would be staring at the one can in the pantry that I accidentally bought 2 years ago. Could it be the "forbidden fruit" urge? The same urge that drives you crazy with thirst when the water is shut off so the toilet can be fixed?
Well, I think I have devised the perfect lent denial practice. Age. Due to my failing memory I can't remember what it is that I gave up and that way I won't waste all that time fixated on what ever it is that I am avoiding. Of course now I am wondering what it was that I gave up and why I gave it up. Now I'm wondering why I am sitting here when I have a comfy bed and a small, dark chocolate bar waiting for me...ewww, now I'm thinking of lima beans.
Peace and love to you all...
