On this log I try to document things I find interesting on my day-to-day. The idea is to look back at it over time and see how things have evolved, and since I am logging them I may as well share them here on my site.
40 Days
So, tomorrow is the start of lent, which is a period of 40 days that represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, and during this time people give something up to prepare for easter.
I don’t consider myself a follower of a specific religion, and don’t usually go by any rules because “it says so in the bible” or in any other scripture, I try to do what feels right to me in everything I do and that’s that.
But going back to this lent subject, my friend was bugging me today to give something up, and I’ve decided to give up chocolate starting tomorrow, for 40 days. He said the same thing last year and I jokingly said I would give up hot dogs (I barely eat them anyways), only to realize a couple days later that I had them and didn’t remember I wasn’t supposed to, so I failed miserably last year with that promise.
The photo on this post are the last 3 pieces of chocolate I ate before starting this, I’ll try to keep it up this year, if nothing else to keep me entertained.
