Ash Wednesday-beginning of Lent

So today for the first time in a long time I went to Mass. I have not been to mass for a really long time, and I am unsure what made go today, but I felt like I wanted to. For the last few months life has been really stressful, and I have often unnecessarily stressed myself out, gotten angry at the wrong people, or have just generally been upset for no reason. Partially it was due to time-management, but partially it was due to the fact that I neglected myself in favor of others. Therefore this year for lent I decided that instead of giving something up I would re-invent myself. I would take time in my day and do at least one good thing for me-something that revitalizes my spirit and makes me happy, something that saves me from getting grumpy, and mad at people and things that dont deserve it. Today that something was walking home from school with my friend, and then of course also visiting Ash Wednesday Mass. I am really happy I went, I saw some friends I did not know attended catholic mass here, and realized I never much think about other peoples religious believes. Well all in all a good day :)

Stay happy everyone
