The beginning of Lent is marked by Ash Wednesday and then the 40 days of struggle begins! Lent is filled with a roller coaster ride of emotion:
Day 1: Let’s do this!
Day 2: I don’t know if I can do this.
Day 5: I’m really not sure if I can do this!
Day 10: I’m already ¼ of the way done!
Day 15: Would it be awful if I quit now?
Day 20: Half way down!! Only 20 more days to go!
Day 25: 15 days is such a long time.
Day 30: Only 10 days!
Day 35: I’m almost done!
Day 39: One more day!
Day 40: Wow! I actually made it!
