Lent is actually one of my favorite times of year. I find it to be a wonderful way to recenter one's self.
I generally fast on Ash Wednesday and break my fast with a simple meal at the end of the day. I may or may not go to an actual Ash Wednesday service. I went to the one at the church I work at last year.
I try to take some time every day of Lent to reflect on the season, its meaning, and the idea of sacrifice. Protestants generally like to sacrifice something during Lent. I generally try to choose something health-oriented to focus on for Lent. I do not always choose to give something up; sometimes I choose to add something better to my life. However, this year I am choosing a sacrifice, as last year I chose an addition. I am giving up white sugar.
I'm not sure what I will undertake for my Lenten study this year. We'll see.
