			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lent 2009 was an amazing experience that truly cannot be described in words.  There was so much internal searching and profound revelations that came through this experience that I am truly blessed to have stuck to my promise.</p>
<p>My relationship and bond with Dear Son and Gwenn has grown to such levels in this 40+ day period it is amazing what time and mental concentration can do for relationships.</p>
<p>Additionally, I have realized that many of my relationships on Facebook were <strong>negative</strong> in my life [which lead to the deletion to 100+ "friends" on initial login].  When I was on Facebook I was not necessary using this technology as a positive influence in my life, instead I found myself comparing pieces of my life with others &#8211; which is not a healthy practice.  The technology behind Facebook was meant to be enjoyable and a fun way to connect with individuals, however it was not this for me anymore. <strong> We cannot compare ourselves to others, we are all unique individuals at different places in our life&#8217;s with different circumstances.</strong> Also, people tend to only place the &#8216;good&#8217; on social networking sites, so you are not really seeing the truth.</p>
<p>Through this last 40+ days I have found myself &#8220;refinding&#8221; myself again.  Rediscovering who I am and what I like to do, how I like to dress and how I like to laugh and joke. <strong> It has been amazing and I expect to continue the journey as it has only begun.</strong></p>
