Ash Wednesday

Brian Berg is a card stacker.  He doesn't use glue  or tricks, just stacks the cards and creates unimaginable and clever reproductions of beautiful cathedrals and cities or whatever comes to mind.  He has hands like magic as I cannot put three or four cards together and have them stand;  I've tried that more than one in my lifetime.    

Well today is Ash Wednesday the start of forty days of fasting and behaving oneself to get ready for Easter Sunday and new beginnings.    Here's your chance to change your ways, if you so desire....and a lot of us should desire....maybe work on a better disposition;  or maybe practice how to be a friend, or even a bit more generous and loving.  Only you can decide what it is you need to do for yourself but this is a good time to really put on your thinking cap and get busy to 'behave' for the next forty days.

The trick is to give up what you really enjoy and see if you can do it....if you are successful then you will find that you have a new understanding of who you are and what you can accomplish in what really is a very short time;  of course it feels like forever, but, you can do it....think now of something to give up for lent . . . and do it. Good luck.....try it, you might find that you have a lot more stamina and are a lot braver than you think.  It isn't easy but then that is what makes you stronger when you succeed and you will . Today is the starting day . . . let's do it!   Hugs to all.
