Today is Ash Wednesday.
As its the first day of Lent its traditional to either give something up or take something up for the next 40 days.
Or its the New Year Resolution mark 2.
By right I should take up something like the the Tuesday:Push, or cycling every day (if I can defer this one, maybe).
Doing anything different for the next 40?

Nope. And nope. I don’t believe in self deprivation. Want it. Have it. It leads to a much happier life.

Well, certain types of self deprivation can be bloody useful. You know, building up stamina for instance.

Will power, as it were.
I try to wean myself off the vices every day but I’ve a wee devil on my shoulder that sounds just like Lottie. Or maybe that’s the angel?!
Strength of perseverance is always invisible to a newbie. Therein lies the cruelty. It’s too easy to quit quitting!!!

I find its the other way around.
Its hard to start, and takes a lot of starts to keep going.
