Intentions

My experiment has shown me that I don't really intend to make consistently good choices on a daily basis. I certainly intend to make more good choices than bad choices and I'm very committed to avoiding really bad choices but when it comes to moment-by-moment decision making, I tend to go by what I want in the moment. I'm planning to expand and intensify the experiment during Lent--no shame, no guilt, just a heightened awareness about how I make decisions and what it would look like and feel like to genuinely intend to live differently. I'm starting to feel the power of the word "intend."
