Valentine's Day, Ash Wednesday, Lenten Sacrifices, and Weakness

February 14, 2018 9:28pm CST
Yeah.... Well.... Wine. Chocolate. It happened today. Even though it is supposed to be this day of fasting and sacrifice. I had chocolate, multiple times. Then I had wine tonight, multiple glasses. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Maybe not.

It's a bit hard on humans when two opposites collide, isn't it? Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day. Who'd a thought?

I'm still eating chocolates a week and a half after Valentine's Day....there's always next week to start eating better.
