Give it up!

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. That's usually the time when people commit to give up something that will help them focus on the season leading up to Easter. My denomination doesn't usually celebrate it but we have many friends who do observe the tradition and so, last year, my oldest daughter decided to give up something for the 40 days leading up to

Some people start a positive habit or action in their lives instead of giving something up for Lent. You could take that option if you'd rather not give up your energy drink. :)

Ooooo, I ADORE your thinking!!! One time at my in-law's family reunion, we were all given a pack of gum and told that every time you complained about something, you had to chew a piece. Whoever ended up with the most pieces of gum got a prize.

I thought it'd be a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, it showed me what a complainer I was...HA! I ate a lot of gum that weekend. :-D

I'm thinking of a positive habit now...because today was not very productive without my Rockstar!

Thanks for the suggestion, lil!!!

I think it'll be good for me, but gaaah! This has been a hard day. :-D

Best of luck to you! I'm not an energy drink drinker, but I'm not sure I could give up chocolate . . . or any sweets for that matter. ;-)

Thanks! It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. I guess I'm not THAT addicted (but I do miss them when I write. They keep me focused and productive...ah well...)
