This year I have chosen to add things to my routine for my Lenten Journey. I’m doing a photo a day and blog everyday. But growing up I distinctly remember being told that if we give up things for Lent that it doesn’t include Sundays. Because Sundays are like “mini Easters”. And so I decided, yesterday, that my sabbath time for my Lenten Journey this year would fall on Saturdays instead of Sundays. So I didn’t blog yesterday.

It works well for me that way. Saturday’s are generally my sabbath anyway, since I don’t work that day. So it’s a logical shift. But a new one for me.

I am thankful for tradition, routine, and newness.
