Another Monday, another blog post.
Today marks the fifth day of Lent, which for many Christian Americans means only 35 more days of begrudgingly giving up something in observance of penance and prayer before Easter. Though I myself am Catholic-raised-non-practicing, I have decided to observe this annual ritual this year in my own way. While I have "given up" soda (not particularly difficult to do considering I only drink soda on the rare occasion it is the first thing I grab on a break from work), I have decided these 40 days would be better spent "adding" something to my routine (like spending more time with friends, dancing more, putting aside more investment money from my paycheck each week).
So for 40 days, I vow to set aside another 10% investment from my weekly earnings (a money-wise "add" if I do say so myself!) AND to wear a bright splash of color every day. This latter is admittedly a little silly, but for the past five days I have found myself in a better mood because of it. Even if only I know my socks are florescent pink, it gives me an extra bounce to my step to get me through rough days. Today, I wore my favorite bright shoes for an audition. A pair orange alligator Bandolino ballet flats were the perfect splash of color to compliment an absolutely gorgeous day in DC!
So what will you "add" in observation of Lent this year?
