Now everybody will be wishing each other Happy Give-up-somethingness. Alert John Gibson.
This is one of my favorite times of year too for the reasons onesnowyowl gives. Also, during lent, our church had a service every wednesday followed by a soup and sandwich lunch. Since this used to be the most stressfull time of year at my previous job, taking time to go to that was like a year of therapy. Now that we've moved, I will sorely miss that. So, every day during lent, I will take time to meditate at noon, and have a very simple lunch. No going out for lunch.
