lent-inarticleIf you’re Catholic, it’s likely that you’ve engaged in the practice of giving something up for Lent. This is normally something like your favorite food, an activity you enjoy, or other indulgences. Many are so committed to sharing in the spirit of sacrifice and self-denial that they sustain their Lenten promises for the recommended 40 days. Others discover how hard it is to give something up and end up breaking their promises before the 40-day mark. Did you follow this Lenten tradition, FNites? What did you sacrifice for Lent? Were you able to avoid it for 40 days?

    I was able to fast for the entire Lenten Season but I did do my best to limit indulgent meals and let go of negativity in general. :)
