Start of a great week

Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week. I can hardly imagine how quickly lent has passed us by. I wrote out an entire list of things I wanted to do during the Lenten season - unfortunately I put that list to shame. I was able to completely give up wedding planning though, that in itself is huge for me. Anyway, since I know God is forgiving, I'm sure he will be happy if I implement that list during Holy Week. That means I will have one of the most productive, healthy, positive, spiritual and fulfilling weeks of my life. You may be wondering, "how are you gonna do that?", well I'm going to begin by elimination. That's right, for one week there will be no facebook, TV, blogs (except my own of course), shopping or eating in my regimen. Did she just say no eating??? That's right, I will be fasting...Jesus did it for 40 days didn't he? I'll be doing the Master Cleanse. I've attempted it before and it's freaking amazing how clear your mind becomes - it also doesn't hurt that clear skin and weight loss are also a benefit.

This week I am living for a higher being. I want to live as Jesus would. It'll be as if I am getting a grade at the end of the week. I'll strive to be extra kind, extra generous and pour out love to everyone I can. It's time to wear your heart on your sleeve. Greet everyone with a smile, sing aloud in the shower, turn off that car radio and sing a little prayer, put down that fatty burger and fries and pick up some veggie sticks, make yourself look and feel a little more special with a new hair do. If we all lived our finest day for just one day, imagine what a better place this would be.

HAPPY DAY EVERYONE!!!
