Lent
Lent started yesterday. It's my favorite season of the year. It always bring a focus and reconnecting that I need in my life. It's the preparatory time that symbolizes the days Christ spent in the wilderness before starting his ministry.

I turn 25 in less than a week. I have earned 155 credit hours and have a 3.95 GPA. I have spent the last 13 hours sitting in front of a computer unsucessfully struggling to write a 5 page essay for a Freshmen English class. It is not finished.

Gazing at the end...
Today I picked up the last antibiotic prescription in my Lyme disease protocol. 1 bottle of Doxycycline, the standard treatment for people when they first show symptoms, will be my final bottle, the last one of hundreds over the last 9 years. Today I also picked up my race packet for the 10k I am running on Saturday. 1 bottle of medicine, the last ( Read more... )
