To Give Or To Gain

I was considering giving something up for lent.... until I saw the headline that life's little indulgences are what keep us mentally healthy.

So instead of giving something up,  I've decided to add something for lent.  I've decided to add an extra period of meditation into my schedule.  An extra twenty minutes each day to .... just be.

Rather than waging a daily battle fretting over what I'm trying to give up, I'll look forward to that extra twenty minutes of cosmic peace.

Now I realize that in order to find those extra twenty minutes I'll have to give up something... and in the course of doing so I'll come to learn what I've been doing that's been keeping me from.... me.
