Lent

For the first time in a long time, I am taking part in Lent. I grew up participating and I think I gave up the same thing every year for 7 years or so {Chocolate}, and although I participated on my own I did not go to mass or engage in those activities.i have however really found a community I enjoy and it has brought me back in a bit.

For Lent I am giving up soda. I am hoping that this carries on past Lent, it's no good for me but I get bored drinking water all the time. I am also DOING something for lent. I am going to do several random acts of kindness over the 40 day period.

I started ash Wednesday off with mass and then donated 8 or 9 boxes/bags of baby clothes to the Bay Area Crisis Nursery. Paying in forward a bit. Hopefully I can stick to these two obligations over the next 40 days.
