* This year I am going to focus on finding one beautiful thing each day and taking time to appreciate it, which I hope will keep me mindful of the joy of creation and of how my own behavior can add to that.
* Reading Finding our Way Again [Bishop Mariann’s recommended reading for Lent]
* I am going to spend an extra 20 minutes each day
in silent prayer and try and reclaim my contemplative practice.
in silent prayer and try and reclaim my contemplative practice.
* My Lenten discipline is to get more daily exercise by trying to walk every day--hoping to create some quiet space in my life during Lent.
* This Lent, I am keeping tucked in prayer a tough decision I have to make.
* Walking St. Patrick's Labyrinth; participating in the Women's Bible Study; reading the book recommended by our new Bishop Budde, practicing taking a 'Holy Breath' between activities.
* Giving up pounds. Taking on quiet time for reflection.
* I hope to research which organizations are lobbying to end the death penalty and add my voice by writing a letter or contributing financially.
* I will take on something, usually doing more in the church such as attending EVERY Sunday or going to special prayer groups. Maybe this year I will take on doing more FOR St Patrick's. I also try to give up something. Last year I gave up sweets. I want to try wine too.
* This year I am going to focus on finding one beautiful thing each day and on taking the time to appreciate it, which I hope will keep me mindful of the joy of creation and of how my own behavior can add to that.
* In quiet contemplation. In hours of reading. In prayer.
