40 days to go

Although I am not a practising Catholic (I did however do a spell at a convent in primary school), the Lenten tradition of giving up something pleasurable for forty days has always appealed to me. Time to reflect on what's important and to be grateful for what one has in ones life. I mean my Muslim friends endure a month of no food or drink from sunrise to sunset for Eid. So I feel that voluntarily giving up something up is almost the least you can do. This year, I’m participating by giving up drinking wine and I threw in chocolate just for good measure (as Grant said, I shouldn't be eating chocolate anyways). so 40 days and counting ...
Till next time
