Why Give Something Up?

It is now the third day of Lent. Many people give up something for this holy 40 days like junk food or saying means things about people and especially meat. I tried to give up meat last Lent and i am so glad it is a distant memory.

This year for Lent I am going to add to myself to improve my attitude and hopefully my life. Lat week my friend Nicolette emailed a link to me with 21 ways to be a happier you. I loved it and immediately started forwarding it to friends and family.

So many people now are unhappy. Unhappy with their job, with their spouse, with their daily routine. I am no exception in that I am many times unhappy with myself or disappointed in myself.

In order to change that and be happier with myself and hopefully make that translate to God rejoicing in me, His daughter, I am going to go through my list of 21 ways to be happier and try to apply them to my life until they become habit.

Hopefully this will be a move that changes me and impacts others around me even after the 40 days have past.

No. 1: Smile more often.
Let's start the day!
