Now I try to give something up, and do something. I try to encourage my children to add a "do" to their Lenten practice.

Bring on more Lydia, please! :)<br /><br />I loved this card the first time I saw it and I still do! :)<br /><br />I thought I might add the 40 bags in 40 days....but apparently I have mad procrastination skills too...because I didn't get anything tossed on day 1 except our daily food scraps to the compost pile. sigh.stampingbowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289595497799585772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-38997613607923384522014-03-05T18:16:59.404-06:002014-03-05T18:16:59.404-06:00I think that is a wonderful idea - doing something...I think that is a wonderful idea - doing something positive like sending cards. Now I have just a couple of hours to think of something positive to do everyday in Lent.

I began mailing cards once a week a short while ago. Every Sunday I sit down with a pile of cards and my address book and I just go through it and send out love. Some weeks it is just one card. This week, I sent 14. I hope these positive ripples build and am glad and excited to see you doing this too. Lucky recipients - extra sunshine is always welcomed.madameplushbottomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13666643880094304570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-55872718278977889282014-03-05T16:44:46.320-06:002014-03-05T16:44:46.320-06:00Ironically, I had an old friend over the weekend t...Ironically, I had an old friend over the weekend tell me that she did the same thing during lent and encouraged her children to do the same. I instantly loved that idea and am glad to hear more people do it. I guess Lent started and I should figure out my own plan. That sort of snuck up on me.Super Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961314677178559261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-88958942002078647232014-03-05T16:44:22.381-06:002014-03-05T16:44:22.381-06:00What a great spin on giving up.

But, giving myself a shorter period of time - 40 days as opposed to 365 - would make those "New Year's Resolutions/Goals" more manageable to achieve. And in the long run it is giving something up that I too, am very good at - procrastination. Thank you for the inspiration. And thank you for posting your wonderful artistic work!Lorraine https://www.blogger.com/profile/11427333309803544827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-37049814864722426442014-03-05T15:39:00.449-06:002014-03-05T15:39:00.449-06:00I like your idea of adding something positive.

And just think, only 101 more unpublished blog posts to go! That's like 1/3 of a year!

I pray that you are successful in your mailings. I am challenged by you. I have a few cards that I need to get in the mail...I was going to say I will try to mail them and I heard "Yoda's voice in my head saying 'Do or not do. There is no try'" so I will get them mailed. I love how your broken heart looks.MariLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772691894541726851noreply@blogger.com
