My Lenten Offering

OK, so I'm not Catholic, but I still feel the need to give up something for Lent. After much thought, I decided that I would give up chocolate as my offering on Wednesday morning. I went to an 8 a.m. meeting at a local coffee shop. Since I don't drink coffee or tea, I ordered a hot chocolate during the meeting. Hot chocolate!!!! So here I am 15 minutes into my Lenten agreement and I have already failed!!!!!! Argh!!! OK, so after falling off the wagon, I decided that Diet Coke found be the next goner after I finished my meeting. Then lunch rolled around. Without paying attention, I grabbed a Diet Coke and started gulping. Now, I am 4 hours into my Lenten offering and I have failed twice!!!

Then I decided that 2009 was not going to be my year for giving anything up for Lent, so I decided to add more Primo Water into my life. I know it isn't exactly in the spirit of Lent, but I feel that I am doing something that I wouldn't necessarily do without a cause, so it is close.

I am doing much better with this concept. I am drinking more water and getting closer to the recommended allowance (still not totally there). My heart is in the right place and my water cooler is excited because it see it much more often.
