I would also like to say a word about Fat Tuesday today. I have never participated in the Fat Tuesday events to celebrate before lent begins. I figure like this: it is just an excuse for people to go out eating and drinking and partying.
For lent, pick something that is very meaningful for you and which you will learn something significant if you were to deprive yourself of it and give it up. It's not so bad. The one thing that's hard for me is the no meat on Friday thing.
I remember one year I gave up chocolate: oh my goodness did I go crazy. I was so addicted to chocolate that giving it up taught me that one should not be so addicted to anything like that.
It's late now so people are probably home but I bet they went out to party before the season of Lent and of sacrifice. What are you giving up?
