Tomorrow is Lent, Ash Wednesday…
Do you know what you are ‘Giving Up’…
I could say candy, soda, snacking…
Which those things I will do…
But what I really want is to replace bad habits with good habits…
And to just be able to do anything consistently for 40 days…
I’m always saying when I get to my day off, or after this visit, or when the boys are done with homework, or when hubby has a day off…
I want to do things today in spite of what is going on around us…
We shall see…
I am back… Fed the boys… I am stuffed… cleaned the leftovers out of the fridge… hubby is at work…
I had my audit today… I really like the new audit with better questions and each question is graded from A-F with no overall score… I had some B’s, quite a few C’s and a couple of D’s which require action plans… so I have some action plans to follow up on that are due in two weeks, one in a month and one in three months… The district manager will be back in three weeks bringing the regional manager… Our next audit is not til the summer… He will email the final audit sometime this evening… I can’t wait to have a printed copy so I can get the associates started on the action plans… It’s mostly just things that were not finished before the audit and a few new ideas… That’s what I like about this audit better, it causes the district manager to have to discuss things, own the stores and follow up… He was at our store from 10:30-1:45pm… In the past he would come for an hour, point out things to fix or just walk around asking questions that you wonder is he testing us or does he not know what he is talking about…
Tomorrow I have to do my paperwork/reports, make the schedule for next week, call in two potentials for second interviews for Friday with my boss, fix all the little things district manager pointed out, open boxes, walk the floor with my full timer to discuss the visit and get everyone started on the action plans…
Plus start my lent…
And then Thursday is a day off…

A Prayer for Wisdom: I pray that I would diligently seek You in the decisions I make. Lord, I need Your help today. Lead me to Scriptures that apply to my life right now and give me a fresh understanding of Your Word. I am laying aside all my worldly wisdom and putting my trust in You. Amen.
Think beautiful thoughts and there will be no room for the ugly ones. –Joyce
Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...
a soft answer turns away wrath.
When everyone around you seems to be in bad spirits, bickering and complaining, take a step back. It's so easy to answer in kind, but instead feel into your heart and answer gently. Let peace radiate from you.
Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...
God is there for you to hold on.
Hold on to what is good, even if it's a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe, even if it's a tree that stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, even if it's a long way from here. Hold on to your faith, even if it's easier to let go. Hold on to God's hand.

Glad you are finally through with that audit. It was hanging over you causing lots of stress for sure. I'm always glad to see Lent come along and think that in 40 days or so, Easter along with Spring will be here. I can finally come out of my winter hibernation. It's been way too long of a winter here.
Glad to hear the audit wasn't too bad; seems like it was positive to give you areas to work on and develop those action plans. I am sure you are relieved it is over until the next one :)
Good to develop good habits over the 40 days of Lent rather than give up something (which is also good to do). I'm just amazed it is that time of the year already!
