I think either one of two things need to happen: 1. The Super Bowl needs to be played on a Saturday, or, 2. The Monday following the Super Bowl needs to be a national holiday. Haha! Even though our Super Bowl Sunday was a normal day, the later night definitely made my Monday seem a little off.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. It feels like Lent is starting early this year, and I know that Easter will be here before we know it!
Growing up, we were always encouraged to "give something up" for Lent. I typically gave up chocolate, and failed miserably after the first few days.
My mom would challenge us to do something, rather than giving something up, and I was much better at this. I've continued to do this over the years, and done things like: pray the rosary more frequently, contact with extended family through phone calls or cards, or even delivering baked goods or meals to friends around me. This year, I've decided that I am going to challenge myself to reduce my time on social media to an hour every day. Now, I know that an hour seems like a long time, but I always surprise myself with how easily I get sucked into "mindless scrolling" throughout the day. I will put a 1 hour cap on my social media time, and I anticipate that it will cause me to be much more intentional about when, and how frequently I am picking up my phone. Wish me luck. 😉
See you back here tomorrow!
