Lent
This feels like Lent--dark, subdued, sober.
So for my 6 weeks I decided to "go for it".
No alcohol, no online shopping, no anti-
depressants. I'm also mentoring my
Bible study group and getting involved
with a women's shelter, Colette's House.
On top of that I am attending family
therapy once a week.
I usually have so many "things" to
distract me or bring me pleasure.
I've tried to strip those away for the
next six weeks. I feel like I'm functioning
in a more somber world but don't really
feel depressed. How would I describe it?
More thoughtful, more quiet, more
reflective, more aware of the down and
living less on the up.
