DEB'S SPARKS!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, a little early!
Last year I confirmed my Irish heritage through an Ancestry DNA test.  While every one is Irish on St Patrick's Day, it was fun to know that I was truly 16% Irish (and Scottish). 
Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.  Whether you are religious or not, the talk this time of year is 'what are you giving up for Lent'? 

When asked his opinion on what we should give up for Lent, Kevin rolled his eyes.  Neither of us are motivated to 'give up' anything after a 'Dry and Strict Keto January'. 

Why not start a new practice and use Lent to improve our lives? And so it is.  My daily gratitude journal is born. 

I love to write though I need to be in the mood to write.  I find it challenging to simply write every day just because I should.  You know what they say, writers write.

My committments are:

1. Write for 10 minutes each day about gratitude.  This supports daily writing AND creating an attitude of gratitude.
2. Donate 40 things, one item each day will go into the bag or box.  They can be donated to Rummage or another wonderful local charity.

What will you do with the 40 days of the Lenten season?  Challenge yourself to give up something?   Challenge yourself to enhance your life therefore enhancing the lives of others? Or do nothing, sometimes making it through the day is enough.  No judgment here.

You will be my accountability partners.  I will report on my progress in the next newsletter.

Wishing you peace, love and the luck of the Irish!  Debbie
