Just kidding, there will be no lamentations here. Just wanted to say hello. Life always manages to be the CRAZIEST in the spring.... and it'll take a lot of energy to stay in tune with all aspects of life (school, work, family, post-grad life planning, art), all the while finding more time to pray, read and attend services.
Since I have to do more prioritizing now, I think I'll have to lay off the blog. I might post something now and again, and I'll probably continue to read other's blogs, but this Lent there's too much stuff I need to focus on. I'll be back after Lent, for sure!
For my Orthodox brothers and sisters, may your Lent be a blessed one! To any other friends or lurkers, I'll see you again in May if not sooner! God bless, and please forgive me a sinner!
Before I go, I'll leave you with one last recipe. Try it out!
