Ash Wednesday in My this and that

Today I am thankful for a good long sleep.

I was wiped out yesterday, for reasons unknown to me. So last night I made a delicious pizza dinner, we watched two episodes of Murdoch Mysteries, I took a bath, and no later than 9:00 p.m. I was snuggled into bed with a book. I didn't read long before falling asleep.

And boy did I sleep good! I don't remember my dreams, I don't remember Ben coming to bed. All I remember is feeling not annoyed when my alarm went off at 6:00 a.m. and that is a nice feeling.

Tonight I am getting together with my friend Jessica. I need some decorating tips, and I love her style, so I'm hoping she can help me out a bit.

Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. I have chosen to fast from popcorn, my most favourite food. I am excited for the potential growth this can bring about in me, and excited to see what God will do in my life at this time. Last night after pizza I made myself a big bowl of popcorn, but surprisingly couldn't finish it (perhaps not so surprisingly since I had just eaten most of a pizza). So the remaining popcorn was sitting there this morning, and I wasn't even tempted to eat it! Praise God!
