Start of Lent

Today is the start of Lent.  40 days of abstinence, fasting, prayer.  40 days to get ready for the resurrection.  40 days to become closer to God.

I just read a blog post on Testoserhome about a women who gave up to God the act of talking over and over about a negative situation.  That has inspired my Lenten resolutions this year.  This is what I posted on her site in the comments.
  • It is amazing how someone or something can take you down and those around you. I work with someone who pushes every single button I have and I end up bringing this frustration home to my husband and kids because I carry it with me. I am going to do my best this Lenten season to let it go - give it to our Lord. I started today with a decade of the rosary in the parking lot before I entered the building and a Hail Mary when this person starts to push. I listen, give a thoughtful answer, walk away and pray.

I am hoping that this will work for the next 40 days.  Pray for me
