The Fast Continues

Just wanted to do a quick post about my lenten news fast. I continue to avoid anything that remotely resembles "news" (i.e., current events). The most difficult for me to give up was CNN; I was a CNN junkie. As a SAHM, whenever I had some "down time," it was easy to reach for the remote control to see what was going on in the world. Now, though, I hardly miss it. I've filled the usual morning time with inspirational reading. Afternoon time I spent with "Wolf," is now spent studying French or catching up on blogs that I like. When this season is over, I'm thinking that I'll limit my news watching to 30 minutes; that's usually enough to keep up with current events.
