46 Days
By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! We are in the Lenten Season. Lent starts after Ash Wednesday.
The next day - Thursday, is counted as day one. Sundays are not counted.
I've listened all of my life to some people saying they are giving up
this or that for Lent - food, movies, vices (cigarettes, gambling,
alcohol, etc) and such. Other people observe Lent with fasting and
prayers. One Pastor told his congregation to "take on" something for
Lent - visit those who were homebound, babysit a struggling Mother's
kiddies for free. and the like. Still others do not observe Lent at all.
But Lent is still only 46 days this year.
I submit the following to you readers for your perusal and reflection.
Sometimes our best answers come when we look a little deeper within
ourselves.
I am in competition with no one. I run my own race. I have no desire to
play the game of being better than anyone, in any way, shape, or form.
I just aim to improve, to be better than I was before. That's me and
I'm free. HeartCenteredRebalancing.com
"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort, of feeling safe with a
person; having neither to weigh thoughts, nor measure words, but to
pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing
that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth
keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest
away." George Eliot
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain
felt by others. Anonymous
Happy are those who take life day by day, complain very little, and are
thankful for the little things in life. Anonymous
Saying you don't have time to improve your thoughts and your life is
like saying you don't have time to stop for gas because you are too
busy driving. Eventually it will catch up with
you. Robin Sharma
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the
people who treat you right. forget about the ones who don't and believe
that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance - take it. If
it changes your life - let it. Nobody said it would be easy - they just
said it would be worth it. Anonymous
As you learn to still your mind, you will be able to see, hear, and
know what you need to do. This inner knowing comes from

Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push
each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and
complain. Anonymous
We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day.
And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one
day. Anonymous
Lesson of Time - Karma: When a bird is alive - it eats ants. When the
bird is dead - ants eat the bird. Time and Circumstances can change at
any time. Don't devalue or hurt anyone in life. You may be powerful
today. But remember: Time is more powerful than you. One tree makes a
million match sticks....only one match stick is needed to burn a
million trees. So be good and do good.
Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the
furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next
time. Ever Toodles!! MONA
