It is Lent, and I am proud of the family.  Mike and I are eating healthy and walking several times a week.  I have been attending a great Centering Prayer Workshop at St. Anthony Parish (Evansville).  Sr. Tasto, OSB, is leading.  She is a national talent, right here in SW Indiana at Ferdinand.

Mary is putting away the cell phone earlier, giving up most carbonated drinks, went to the Source and Summit Retreat and is trying to give up meat for the last three weeks.

Rob is in college and has tolerated my nagging well:  "It's almost Lent, what are you doing?"  "It is Ash Wednesday, want to come to church?  Surely you can find some ashes somewhere?"  "How about Sunday Mass at St. Anthony and a free dinner?"
