I like to call myself a "Cafeteria Catholic" (take what you need and leave the rest). I'm actually more of a "Salad Bar Catholic" or even a "Side Salad Bar Catholic" (take things like croutons and pudding and leave the actual 'salad' part). However, in my attempt to get myself more spiritually fit and physically fit, I decided I would do Lent this year. So I was thinking, I've given up a lot of stuff this year. Lots of stuff that was bad for me but things that I enjoyed (at some level, I guess), so I've decided to start something for lent rather then stop something. I'm going to exercise every day of lent. I mean, its sort of giving up something if you really think about it. It will significantly cut into my napping with both the actual doing of the exercising and the extra energy I hope to get from the exercising. It's giving up being comfortable for a period of time everyday. I value comfort above most things. So I really think that God will be cool with my plan, if God exists, which I'm still pretty skeptical about. It doesn't really matter because it is making me and will continue to make me feel better, which is what my life is all about today.
Thanks for letting me share.
