It's a nice feeling - coming home from work for the last time in the coming 6 weeks, leaving work at work until Easter, putting away my winter clothes for a few months...
In the English world Lent is a time for giving up things, be it chocolates, cakes, smoking or other [bad] habits. For me this year it will be a time of retreat, reflection and rest. Reasons for me having this much-envied break from work will be detailed in later post.
Giving up work is probably just part of it (but it sounds nice). I'm probably giving up being the person I want to become, or be seen as; giving up trying to be strong and stoical; giving up some pride and stubbornness inside me.
There are a million and one things I want to do during the next 6 weeks, and of course I can't, and won't, do all one million and one things. I am going to rest. This blog will hold me accountable. I hope I will come out of the other end of the 6 weeks feeling physically stronger and spiritually refreshed.
