Day 01: Everything has a beginning...

As for me, I started this day with a question in mind... "What were I thinking? Seriously!"


THREE sacrifices? Seriously!


For this year, I vowed to observe three sacrifices... and yes, this is coming from a girl who gave up on her singular 2010 Lenten sacrifice (of not eating sweets) after a week.


Nevertheless, I vow to do the following this Lenten season:
1. Pray the rosary and novena
2. Make someone else's day, by letting that person feel how special s/he was
3. Reflect and publicize those reflections through this blog.


Those sacrifices? They just came in my mind. And my conscience didn't want me to commit to just one... she wanted me to commit to three.


At that moment, I secretly wished that next time, my conscience would just stick to suggesting what soap brand I should use... just like how it's seen on TV. But then again, I remembered... she IS MY conscience. I'm not going to keep quiet after convincing others to change their soap brands.


So here I am... starting to begin with my third sacrifice, still asking myself what were I thinking... but then finding myself excited as I begin this series of self-reflections.


I know that this is going to be a tough one. After all, my control is limited.


But then again, whatever has been begun, needs to be finished...


And there goes my reflection number one :)
