This year I decided to give up something for Lent. I haven't given up anything for Lent in years. I think maybe it will help reawaken my spirituality a little.
So on Wednesday I decided to give up chocolate, because it will be very hard for me.
I got to work and realized that my lunch contained some granola chocolate bars. So I couldn't eat them. I had a Snicker's bar and some peppermine patties in my desk. Yeah this would be tough... I am starting to realize now how much chocolate I eat on a daily basis.
But I got through Wed. okay.
Yesterday morning someone brought in a big jar of candies, and without thinking, I ate two chocolate thin mints. About a half hour later I remembered my little Lent thing. Doh!
And then yesterday afternoon, a lady who had just gone to Europe brought in some Swiss chocolates. Talk about temptation....
But I did not eat them.
