Usually I look forward to Lent. It's my favorite liturgical season and I always have high expectations. I spend much time gathering my reading and laying out my plans. More often than not the reality does not match the expectations.
This year not one book has yet been chosen. No penance has been pondered and I just don't feel ready. It may end up being my best Lent ever.
