Today's shoes are purple...the calendar must know it's Lent!
I, however, am wearing red and black today (and believe me, I know it's Lent). I don't own enough purple to wear it every Wednesday and Sunday for 6 weeks. So I'm not seasonally color-coordinated today. Come to think of it, I wore red and black last week, also, just in a different configuration. I've had the boots forever and they are some of my favorites. Little pieces are starting to come off, though, so I might have to retire them soon. Which is always sad with a pair of shoes I've had for a long time, but it also means I get to go shopping for new black boots one day in the future!
Last week on Ash Wednesday I outlined my plans for my Lenten disciplines. On the giving stuff up I'm doing great. No chocolate, no coffee, no problem. I get the occasional craving, but so far so good. On the taking-on I so far suck. I haven't done any yoga, and my flute is still in it's case...hasn't even been taken out. I'll blame both on the cold I have that has settled in my chest. It's hard to do yoga and play a flute when breathing is difficult. Yeah, that's it. I'll go with that. I'm much better at the giving up than I am at the taking on. There's probably a lesson in there that I'm supposed to learn. Maybe I'll learn it next year during Lent.
