Lent is over. I did almost all forty days without a drip of non-watery goods. The last few days I consumed two beers at $6 dollars a pop. Thats $24 total for beer consumption. Another $5 for would have been coffee’s and the total that will be donated?

$88.75! I’ll add an extra quarter for a total of $89!!

I feel really fortunate to be able to give this money to BloodWaterMission. I really feel good knowing that 89 people will potentially have clean drinking water for a year. They didn’t have it before, and now they will.

What did I learn from all of this? I am capable of being disciplined and through my discipline you can make change. I learned that caffeine is a temporary boost that is more harmful than good if you become addicted. I also learned that I am capable of way more restraint than I think I am. I think we are capable of more than we think we can do. Sacrifice is good. It is healthy.
