All For Lent...

Well.......getting up at 7 in the morning everyday has not been entirely successful. Who was I kidding really? I am still aiming though.... It's just when it comes to it, my eyes immediately close- I can't help it - if I was meeting someone like I did at the beginning of the week I would get up. But when I know I haven't particularly got to meet any time deadline, I hit the snooze button or just turn the whole alarm off. I do get up for 9 though, so it's not all bad, but I've came up with an idea. Just as I'm writing this actually.

Ok, so today Lent begins. Now, most people give up something for Lent. I have chosen not to, because I don't think it will mean much, and I don't want to give up something just for the sake of it. So! Instead I am going to try and do something, for 40 days. I am going to try and get up between 7-9 (let's be a bit realistic here) and go for a short walk, with a few tunes to wake me up. I'm going to observe something on my walk and write it down. It might not sound like a challenge or anything special to other people, but for me, I know that it will give me a boost for the day.

So that's my 40 day commitment.

Today, I went for a short walk and noticed the different ways that people dressed; pencil skirt and heels, hoody and converse, short leggings and strappy top. I wondered about whether these clothes could represent the type of people they are; business woman, student, dancer. Is that just a passing judgement or does it really match up?

  1. This is a cool idea! Early mornings are something I'm fighting with too - it's so hard! I've given up facebook and the snooze button for lent x
