So last week was Ash Wednesday. Of course being raised Catholic meant that I had to go to mass and get ashes. So I got up early and went to 8am mass at St. Patrick's on 5th Ave. When I got there i was shocked. Here you could just walk in and get ashes without having to attend mass, kind of like an assembly line. Interesting.
For those of you non-church going folks, when you get ashes the priest says "Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return." I really like this mantra. It reminds me that I am only human and that life is short. So love life and don't take everything so seriously.
