approaching Lent

every year for the past two years i have given up Facebook for Lent. now, i am not catholic, and don't really care much about Lent other than the challenge of giving something up for six weeks. this year i plan on giving up Facebook again, but also adding a new challenge to the mix.


this site is my new inspiration for the next six weeks of Lent. a woman started out taking pictures every day of something she was grateful for. then it grew into a much larger project. now a documentary is being made and ... well, i'll let you look into it. anyway, my plan is: starting ash wednesday, march 9th, i will take a picture a day of something i am grateful for until easter. and we'll just see how it goes. :)

i want to change my attitude towards life. right now i am in such a rigorous academic program that i feel mostly stressed out all the time. and between work, school, and trying to meet deaf people and get my "outside of class" work done, i feel stretched thin. i want to remember why i'm doing this. i want to remember what things i am grateful for.

i'll keep you posted. :)
