40 Days of Yoga started in response to the Facebook status question.
My friends were giving up meat, ice cream and going car-free. One friend actually gave up Facebook (which mortifies the flesh a bit too much in my opinion).
It's been years since I've observed the 40 days in a meaningful way. Many Lents ago I quit smoking (permanently). One year I gave up alcohol (impermanently).
I was feeling left out.
Now I'm calculating how many more days of yoga to go until Easter and for sure not counting Sundays. And all because I answered a simple question.
"What's on your mind?"
i gave up wine for lent. Here's my score so far:
ReplyDeleteAsh wed.: Just a little.
Thursday: NO WINE!
Friday: At scary St. C's carnivale, had NO CHOICE. Had to drink!
Saturday: No wine with dinner! Saved $$. Came home, had wine.
Sunday: I NEEDED IT, OK? GET OFF MY BACK!
Monday: so far, so good. :)
Too Funny.
ReplyDeleteThat there is a mind---that it belongs to you---and that there is something on it---so many burdens inherent in the Facebook question!
