Awww, I was trying to be funny. No sad faces allowed.

Usually I give up my New Year's resolutions for Lent.

I'm giving up lots...
1) meat
2) gossiping
3) *personal*
4) wasteful spending
and I am taking ON
1) being a vegetarian
2) praying/ meditating daily
3) writing a letter to a friend or family member at least once a week
4) volunteering once a month and donating more money

hoofta. and for the record, I am already sucking.

I think I'm going to give up alcohol. I kinda want to see what happens to my weight if I do that. Not so much a religious exercise as a physical one.

I LOVE this idea! Uh, does a personal email count? What about a postcard? biggrin

takeout pizza, and focusing on more whole foods (trying to think about the goodness that that earth provides us)
and no meat on Fridays...

I'm giving up chocolate, and I'm also going to try and do a Bible reading everyday since I am a bit lazy about making time for it at the moment.

Good for you. I'm trying to read the bible every day too - i want to read through the entire New Testament but not sure if that will happen anytime soon.

i'm not giving up anything (i should though) but i am trying to pray more and our family decided to sponsor a child through compassion international (not just during lent, but we will pick up the child during lent).
