Good morning dear friends. It's the first day of Lent and many of you may not ever do anything for it (don't think about, it's a different religion than your own, or always forget)...whatever your reasons, this year I ask you to consider this idea.
My birthday happens to fall upon Easter Sunday this year. Instead of gifts, drinks, texts & emails, or just having a good flower power moment in honor of me...I'm asking those that I would normally celebrate with me to better themselves this year in celebration of my birthday. This Lent is going to be very introspective for me and since it leads up to my birthday I thought that if those around me were a blessing to themselves, they would be a better blessing to those around them...including myself as your friend.
You certainly don't have to participate, but I find that doing one good thing for yourself everyday or giving up one thing in your life that keeps you from doing something more productive is a way of blessing yourself and others around you. So start today, start tomorrow, or don't and just celebrate 420 with me when it arrives...but do take time for yourself today. It could make all the difference of your day.
