Yesterday was Easter. And with it came an end to making a blog post for each day during this year's Lent. I'm in a bit of surprise that I was able to pull it off. There were times when I thought I wouldn't be able to make it. A number of close calls, like having to post from my iPhone while at a hospital with a client. But somehow, I was indeed able to make one blog post a day throughout Lent.
Forty-seven days ago, things were very different. I was having a severe depressive episode. Worse than that, I was feeling a lack of faith. But circumstances are better now. My faith in God has drastically changed. This season of Lent, was one where I focused on God more than I really let on with this blog. Some aspects of my life have been altered: for the better, I have to believe. I'm no longer feeling so alone, but instead see ever more clearly that I am indeed blessed with family: some by blood, and a lot by choice.
I know of no other way to put it: God worked something miraculous during the past month and a half, and I am a far better person for it.
As for my writing: I've discovered that this experiment exercised muscles that had long gone neglected and unused. I think I'm stronger as a writer, and more equipped, than I had been before this began. And I may endeavor to make at least one blog post a day, from here on out (whenever that will be). The Knight Shift will be twenty years old come January 2024. Lord willing it will still be around for that.
Until then, write I shall. A lot of people have told me over the years that they enjoy and appreciate the effort that I make in having this site. I want to do right by them.
Okay well, I wanted to write throughout Lent and I did! Now it's time to celebrate. I'm thinking... brownies!
