What are you giving up for Lent?

For those of us who are Roman Catholic, the season of Lent begins next Wednesday which are the forty days preceeding Easter.
Traditionally, we "give up" something or "do something good" for Jesus during these days.
I believe some other Protestant churches also observe Lent, though the church we attend does not....
(We attend two churches, a Catholic and a Protestant.)

So my question is to those of you who do observe Lent...............what are you giving up or adding this year?

Some of you may remember I gave up computer last year! NOT this year!! That was hard, but then, that's the whole idea!

This year I am giving up meat for forty days and adding a Mon thru Friday Mass and rosary!

If anyone else wants to, maybe this could be a place we could encourage one another!

hugs, train
