our lives are filled with so much
some are sweet and some are savory
when we meet other people for the first time, and there is that "connection" you pretty much know you are going to be friends
soon along this new friendship, there comes a choice:
to talk of frivolity or discuss the deep
If you have been reading my journal here for any length of time, you might have noticed I am not one to talk much on "the fluffy outside"
any way you look at it, life is so full of flavor....texture....variety....sweetness....goodness....even evil
instead of me complaining of all the evil....all the hardships....all that goes on in life, I choose to look at it with both a little fluff and a little sweet - but always from scratch
with things thrown together and presented to you in the way I see it
during Lent (starts today) I am not giving up pie or chocolate, but instead giving more
more to you
like a taste of my life....though virtual....it is real on my end
and though I cannot satisfy everyone, I do hope these 40 days to be full of deeper thinking with the occasional taste of "fluff"
peaceful lenten blessings,
Just a beautiful post.....Wonderful inspiration to start my day.. may these 40 days be filled with wonderful moments and many blessings of everyday living and the wisdom to taste all of it.
ReplyDeleteGiving more… that sounds like a worthy cause :) I'll join you on that one. 40 days, more if you wish. Happy Lenten Pies then.

What a wonderful thing you are doing, giving us a gift for Lent. I have been waiting for Lent because I was certain you would do something wonderful like this for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteDo your children give up anything for Lent? I would love to know what types of things they have chosen to live without for 40 days.
Love and blessings,
