This, my friends, begins what I've decided to give up for Lent: no more blogging during work hours.

I've yet to decide how much I can endure. For instance, should I avoid posting altogether? Or can I compose, but only post to blogger? Should I avoid all things blogger, such as other blogs/journals/online diaries? Since most of my content comes from surfing other sites, it seems best that I keep from surfing altogether, so that I also avoid the temptation to blog everything I read. *sigh*

It will be tough going, but that's what Lent is all about - voluntary deprivation to better understand the advantages of the life I lead. Learning to overcome the smaller temptations builds the strength to overcome the larger temptations, as well as defining the difference between want and need, and how truly unnecessary many wants are.

Also, blogging has, of late, had a most detrimental effect on my productivity.

So. A temporary farewell, until sometime after 5 p.m., which is my cut-off time for this test of my resolve. I know I only have a month of Lent left, but hopefully it will break a bad habit and leave me a better person afterwards.
