Understanding Beauty

Today the lovely Betty Beguiles graciously asked me to guest post over at her place, so head over there to read Understanding Beauty. The post is interesting and all, but most importantly, you’ll finally understand why I used to throw wine glasses at the Ogre. Yippee! I know you’re excited.

By the way, are anyone else’s Lenten resolutions unraveling around their ears? Mine sure are. Yesterday morning it became abundantly clear to me that I would either have to go ahead and put sugar in my tea or consume every last bit of chocolate in the house. I went with the sugar, only to eat the remaining chocolate chips in the bag around midnight. Two sacrifices down. I’m still going strong on the no grains thing, though.

What do you do when you slip up on the sacrifice front? I usually try to pick myself up and make another effort, but the second effort is always paltry and usually ends pathetically a week later. Have any of you ever stumbled during Lent and then recovered yourself? If so, I’d love to hear about it!
