Does anyone else observe Lent? My Family is Catholic and while I wouldn't say we are OVERLY religous we do practice Lent every year. I remember when I was little how hard it was to give soemthing up! For the past 4 or 5 years I have given up all forms of junk food (fast food, candy, chocolate.. ice cream) and my mom is giving up Diet Coke (it almost kills her!!) anyone else doing Lent this year? (starts next wednesday in case you forgot :) ) |
You're kidding? It's time for Lent ALREADY? So soon, wow. That means I need to plan to hide from my best friend again, she always give up Chocolate and turns really mean!!!! Sigh. |

I just looked up Easter 2008 in Google, it's in March. Very fast. Well, at least she's just my friend now, she used to be my BOSS!! "shudder"... give the woman some chocolate, pllllease.. LOL! Two years ago she did something else, rather than give up something she decided to do something every day instead, I believe it was say a certain prayer or Rosary. Or read the bible. Not sure which. |

WOW you are sooooo right Lent does start this Wednesday....I ususally give up meat on Wednesdays and Fridays and I will give up Sweet Tea (man that is my ULTIMATE DRINK!!!) I will also try and go to Church every Sunday (like now I skip sometimes but I am going to make the effort and go EVERY Sunday) Also I will say the rosary at least once a week. |
I forgot, thanks for reminding me. Let's see what do I love, YT, Coke, Pizza, and of course my vice. :eek: But, I won't share that with you guys yet! I still have a week to decide. :) |
About 10 years ago I changed my idea of Lent. Instead of giving up something I've made it a time of renewal for my mind, body and spirit. I make a checklist of things to do every day for me. It's just little things. Time to read, time to walk out by the lake, time to be mindfull of what I eat. I floss every day, read a book or 2, clean one drawer or closet, drink my water, light a candle, journal, pray for friends. After 45 years of Lent, I find that it is harder to do something good for myself than it is to give up something. Works for me. |
