Today is Ash Wednesday.

My penance for Lent begins.

I am abstaining from Facebook.

Yup, that’s right! 

Not just fasting, meaning less logging on to Facebook.

But abstaining for the entire season of Lent!

That’s a whopping total of forty days from today.

It’s not like my life will change drastically.

It’s one less mindless habit eliminated in my life.

For forty days at the least.

I’m not crazy about Facebook anyway.

It’s the random act of clicking to see what’s going on that has become a daily habit.

So this is going to be a worthy challenge for me.

I cleared my browsing history in my laptop.

Mindlessly I may click onto Facebook and lose to my challenge of sacrifice.

It’s sacrifice enough for me because I am giving up my favorite game of Scrabble!

Forty days without scrabble… this will have to take some getting used to.

I am ready!  Bring it on!!!
