Ash Wednesday ~~ Lent


 

 

For Christians today is Ash Wednesday the beginning of Lenten Season. I’m not much on celebrating Holidays or even going to church. Actually I almost never attend Church however I feel that with everything that is going on in my life and my country this year would be a good idea to observe Lent.

During Lent Christians usually give up something for 40 days. I think for me since I have an extremely hectic work schedule I need to give up one of my blogs and therefore Espiritu en Fuego is gonna go silent or at least less posts for the next 40 days.

I don’t have the time. I work some times 16 hours straight and I am living in a perpetual state of being overwhelmed. Obviously being that the rents and cost of living in New York is extremely high I will be putting in those extra hours of overtime just to survive.

Also I’ve noticed that I have less and less to say. At least nothing I say or write is meaningful. At least not to me. I think that’s a sign I need to stop and reflect or at least redirect my efforts. Plus I’m getting up to 100 email messages a day. That means I’ve begun the process of unsubscribing from blogs that are not in my interests. I do not have time to read all these blogs nor to comment on them.

Therefore I’ve decided to put what little free time and energy I have towards my photography blog Roaming Urban Gypsy. I’m Overwhelmed 24/7/365.  You may continue to visit me at this link:  https://roamingurbangypsy.com/

 

At this point in my life Enough is Enough. I have very little time for myself and with my upcoming vacation I plan to spend time with my brother Stephen.

How other Bloggers manage I don’t know but it’s time for me to throw in the towel at least for a little while.  When I asked myself Why I’m doing this No good answer came back to reply.

I will not be responding to comments because I don’t have time. Nor will I address this issue on my other blogs because I know folks will want to chime up but it is not an issue up for discussion.

Comments are Closed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing Prompt #3 – Repeat resolutions | Our Random View


https://ourrandomview.wordpress.com/2017/01/04/writing-prompt-3-repeat-resolutions/

I don’t make New Year’s resolutions and haven’t in years because I know I’m not going to keep them. Resolutions for me are not only a waste of time but an exercise in futility. 

Kinda like giving up stuff for Lent. It’s a nice thought but I know I don’t have the will to deny myself anything for 40 days. 

Sooner or later probably the former I’ll mess up defeating the purpose of the blank slate new year or Lent. 

Like many people change is forced upon me. Meaning I don’t change my habits until a drastic emergency. This in regards to my personal health and wellness. Last year 2016 was the first year I was not incarcerated in a hospital or a prisoner in an Emergency Room. 

In the case of caring for my brother Stephen I am meticulous. For him I plan in advance and prepare. I want life for him to be perfect.
