Lent: Day 1 (belated)
I am imitating earlgreytea68 (who I hope won't mind) and starting to post something I'm happy about for every day of Lent.
I'm already about a week behind. OK, for Ash Wednesday I was glad that I hadn't indulged for Mardi Gras any more than I had (I was a bit dyspeptic all day) and that, despite having cake RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I restrained from eating any. (Giving up cake, plus a few other things, is my Lenten sacrifice this year. I've developed quite a cake habit recently and this is harder than you might think, particularly if I include muffins in the prohibition (I haven't decided yet if they count.))
