Hello hi,
Happy new month! It is the third month of the year
2021, March. Don’t ask me what I did last month because I honestly don’t
remember, lol 😊 Actually,
apart from work stuff, I managed to share a few videos on my YouTube channel –
so please check them out. I also had a couple of presentations, one of which I
won best oral presentation award for! I was so excited; I have always wanted to
win something like this and in the past, I had gotten honourable mention for
poster. So indeed, this was a wish of mine that came through. What else
happened last month? Hmm…valentine’s day! Lol. I actually got some flowers, and
chocolates from some old and new friends. That was very nice.
How was your Valentine’s day?
There was no other event for February, except that
Lent season began for Catholics. For those who may not know, this is a season
that marks the day of repentance, in preparation of Easter (the resurrection of
Jesus Christ). So Lent season starts on Ash Wednesday, when the priest puts
some ashes on our foreheads as a sign of repentance, and ends on Good Friday,
the day when Jesus was crucified. Given the current circumstances, this year,
there were designated times for the ashes. Also, the priest in my church did
not touch our foreheads; he just sprinkled the ashes over my head which felt a
bit weird, but of course is much safer.
During Lent season, we are encouraged to fast, abstain
from something, be more prayerful and give alms to the poor. Last year, I gave
up meat i.e. chicken, beef; I only ate fish. However, this year, I was not too
sure of what of give up or do. I am still thinking about it (it’s not too
late), but for now, I decided to sing more praises to God. Let me know if you
have any ideas.
How about you, what did you give up or
change for lent?
And that’s all I wanted to pen down today, basically I
want to wish you a wonderful new month. I pray that this new month of March
brings you your good heart desires and peace of mind and body. Thank you so
much for reading and don’t forget to share how your February went and your plans
for Lent (if applicable) in the comment section. Please also share with your
