Literally, apples and oranges. So i've decided to include two more things into my diet from now on: apples and oranges. normally i hate apples (can't stand the skin - although this is the healthiest part) and oranges. See, the usual custom for Lent is that one give up something for a certain amount of time - i'm not sure exactly for how long - i think its 40 days, right? and i decided to give up soda and juice - but this is easy. okay not that easy, today i had a jones for pepsi and dr. pepper like it was going out of style. but instead of actually giving up something (i mean i still will give up soda and juice) i'm planning on giving up my distastte, aversion, hatred, enemy-like-attitude, unfondness for fruit, but in particular - wait for it: Apples, and what...Oranges...
So, i'm going to start slow. i will have 1 apple and 1 orange a day. and maybe up it to about say....2 or 3...but i know i know, don't go crazyyy.....so there you have it. I am throwing down the white flag and extending an olive branch, or shall i say grape vine and making ammends with fruit. that's my Lent commitment and i'm planning on sticking with it...
