lent

so in case you forgot

today is ash wednesday

i wonder if it might be

one of the tortuous days of the year

for thousands...

maybe millions

although i'm not catholic

there a lot of people that are

and many who participate in lent

i was going to pass on

the "joy" of sacrificing something

i thought i could give up

my occasional swearing

but have come to terms

that i still think it's funny to curse

then after some peer pressure at work

i finally listened to our it worker

who told me my pancreas

is in pain every time i drink a soda

which has been daily lately

yesterday he went into diabetes

which does run in the family

but so does drinking coke!

it's a family culture thing see link below

so i folded

and went cold turkey today...

let's just say

i wanted a coke at 9 a.m. this morning

cravings are real

and no i'm not prego

it was not fun

sacrificing is not fun

coke=happiness

but i made it through day one

when is easter?
