It has been quite a while since I have utilizied my blog, in fact I had forgotten about it months ago.
Sailboat Update: I was able to trade my little 12' Snark for a 16' Hobie Catamaran
- I can't wait for spring. This will be able to haul the whole famly and 12 knot winds will be a joy, not a problem.
Anyway... Today was my first Ash Wednesday church service. I had decided to give up fast food for lent, but after going to the service and hearing what lent was suppose to be, I have decided to go a little further. I have decided to fast during daylight hours to start and push into fasting longer on my days off and as much as possible on work days. Since I have an active, physical job I will have to find a means of fuel.
The service was traditional, as I expected, but the reverend mentioned Buddha's eight fold path as a way of internal reflection during lent. This caught me a little off guard. I'll have to look into it. Buddhism has always interested me, and I have thought about becoming Buddhist before. I think I am as close to agnostic as a christian can be without becoming a universalist. Maybe... Maybe...
Interesting that I named this blog "Endless thoughts of Myself" six months ago and now I am blogging about internal reflection. Life can be funny.
