That's awesome.
I stopped giving up stuff for Lent. I figure it's not much of a sacrifice if I only do it for 40 days. Plus, I think the purpose of Lent is to renew one's spiritual life, so my idea in that is to enhance my life so that I have a stronger connection to God. So instead I started to sacrifice time to take on things God might want me to take on. So instead of my five minute break perusing CP, I might use that to turn to God in prayer or song. But this year, I decided that one of the things I can do to grow deeper in God's love is to start eating together as a family with my child instead of all of us eating separately or she eats and then we eat later after she goes to bed. I think it's best for her spiritual connection as well as mine for us to engage in that thing that will make us love each other more, breaking bread. That's deep, I know. But it's Ash Wednesday and well, that's part of me.

Quite a few of our coworkers observed the Ash Wednesday every year. One time a coworker asked me what I would give up for lent, I said that I didn't intend to give up anything. He looked at me with a "Oh, you sinner" expression.
Then I asked a young woman what did she give up for lent. She replied, "If I tell you what I give up, it won't be a sacrifice anymore." |

Giving up sweets this year. For those who follow the gym/diet thread, you know that I'm constantly plagued by a sweet tooth. Seemed like a good time to give them up.
