Lenten Promises

This Lent I made a promise to refrain from eating Mrs. Matarelli's cookies, and to work on cleaning up my language. I found doing both of these things very difficult, with each having different obstacles that are found in the same basic problem. This basic problem is that I found that I had become accustomed to doing both things without thinking beforehand. So, throughout this Lenten season, I've learned to slow my life down, and actually thinking things through thoroughly prior to making a decision. This has helped me lead a more Christian life, because I do what I feel is right, and have thought about whether its truly the right thing to do. And, I've dropped a few pounds too!
