Well, we are halfway through our journey of Lent.  How are you doing?  I have had a few days of backsliding, but I keep pushing forward toward Easter Day.  I have been in the process of filling 40 bags for Lent.  This involves cleaning out stuff to give away, decluttering, and creating space in my life.

I still have 20 bags to go!  No worries, really.  I have plenty I could and should give away.  It is good for me!

One day my husband announced that while I was getting my “rub down” he would make a trip to Costco.  I reacted immediately, ” My RUB DOWN!??”  He said, “Oh whatever that is you go get now and then.”  I thought for a minute.  “Do you mean my MASSAGE?”  Now I don’t think I have ever had the rub down he envisions from his athletic encounters, but I don’t picture it at all like my relaxing, aromatic, spa of bliss!

Feeling somewhat like a wet noodle, I returned home from my massage.  I slithered in through the back door, and “what to my wondering eyes should appear”…

THIRTY ROLES of toilet paper from Costco…such a deal!  There’s just two of us here…I hope that’s enough!  We certainly don’t want to run out during Lent!  Ahhh, but then I looked a little closer.  Sitting atop were 320 SHEETS of Bounce.  Now that puts a whole new perspective to the remaining days of Lent.  We will have a bounce in our step!  God surely has a sense of humor dealing with us fledglings.  We WILL get through Lent, by the grace of God!  Happy Trails!
