Shrove Tuesday

Jinx’s eyes reflect the light back with a blue tone. The warmth of the color is in keeping with his heart, reflected by his personality.

Tomorrow begins the Lenten season, and I intend, as best I am able, to make a good Lent. I have not gorged today as some do, but have enjoyed a few small things and am actually looking forward to making a clean break tomorrow, with forty days of testing and self-denial before me. I plan to be much in prayer during this season, and I hope to benefit from a time of self-examination and reflection.

Snow sits on the ground tonight, and the barest hint of a smile from the moon looks down on us.

God’s blessings to each of you, my distant friends.
