As a replacement for denying myself during the 40 Days of Lent, I intend to add something: some personal quiet time for reflection. It may mean walking by myself, or some reflecting that results in clearing up 'paper clutter', or something I will discover along the way.
On the first day of Lent, a one hour walk through the hills of my neighborhood, in 55 deg temp, did more to improve my blood pressure than the same amount of time at the indoor track.

Lenten Reflection 1.)
In my deepest self, my soul, I'm an Introvert AND I haven't been giving myself quality personal alone time.

Finding Out Who You Are....
The first Christmas after we started dating, I gave both my wife and her daughter a framed poster with the following quote on it. I haven't been able to track down an author but do hope that you may find something personal in it.
Listening
to your heart,
finding out who you are,
is not simple.
It takes time for
the chatter to quiet down.
In the silence of "not doing"
we begin to know
what we feel.
If we listen & hear
what is being offered,
then anything in life
can be our guide.
