Ash Wednesday, first day of lent... let the fasting begin. I was able to squeeze in church this afternoon to receive the ashes that represent "Ash Wednesday." From what I learned from the priest's homily today was that, ashes represent us when we pass away... we eventually will become ashes..."Remember (O man) that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." It really felt good going to church... it made me realize how refresh I feel every time i step out from Church. Although, other then starting Lent fresh, unfortunately the day fell through the cracks. A few disappointments came crashing my way and one of those involved my east coast trip. My trip buddy cancelled on me less than 2 hours ago, so that leaves me no choice but to cancel. I'm having mixed emotions from disappointments, sad, angry, stressed and somewhat not surprised. To be honest, I felt like my trip was just too good to be true to follow through. I just want to set goals & follow through them. There are so many things in life I want to do, accomplish and experience... & being one step closer to one of those moments felt so great... but now I am three steps further from it.
A part of me just wants to get up and go.. with or without company, but financially, I'm just not ready to do that. I really hope, one day I will get to prove myself that I have it in me to be that adventurous, at this point, only time will tell... But at this point & I am disappointed to say, round two isn't going to happen for me.
