40 Days of Writing (Day 1)

So here begins a project that I am extremely unlikely to finish. One of my cycling buddies posted a link to a Facebook site called 40 Days of Writing. Since I have been neglecting my blog and lately I have actually thought of things I wanted to write about but haven't actually gotten around to doing it, I decided to take the challenge. It's lent after all. I am by all means no longer a practicing Catholic, but I think we could all agree that there's something good to be said about lent. It is a time of reflection and of trying to be a better person. The sign outside the church down the street (which often has good things to say) currently suggests, "Instead of giving up a bad habit for lent, try a new practice such as compassion or patience." I like this idea. All the times I gave up soda and swearing probably didn't do much good for me or anyone else. I still swear although I drink much less soda. While I will also try to shoot for compassion, here I will focus on writing. Something. Maybe nothing long. Maybe just tweet-sized. But hopefully I will have something worthwhile to say. Thanks for sticking around.
