So today is the first day of Lent. I'm not Catholic nor am I particularly religious in the traditional or old-fashioned sense. But I do find spiritual values and considerations to be important in my life. I think it worthwhile to reflect from time to time on some of the big questions: like what is life all about, why are we here, what is a "good" life and how can we live it. I certainly don't believe in sin the way it is normally described by most clergy, but I do believe that how we act is important and has consequences. The old cliche about treating others the way we would like to be treated resonates with me. I'm far from perfect, but I try. Hey, I guess this all sounds pretty heavy, but that's where my head is today. Have a good one.
