Lent begins

Approaching the season of Lent again at least this year I won't need to add giving up cigarettes to the list. How ironic I considered this a sacrifice when I was smoking just goes to show how brain washed you become as a smoker. I will however be giving up sweets and dessert and that should help with the couple extra pounds I gained since quitting. I look forward to this time of year not just for the giving up of things but for adding things that are meaningful during Lent. I think sometimes that is more purposeful then giving something up. Working on some ways to give back to society this year but I have 24 hours left to think on it. I know I owe a platelet donation so maybe that will be a good start for the season not a favorite act but definitely necessary! Will pray on this.
