It starts tomorrow. Early this year. Doing anything special?

Being a good Mick girl whose parents raised her with their pre-Vatican II values, I try to do something for Lent even though I haven't been to Mass since my mom's funeral in 2001....

My goal this Lent is to do at least one good deed every day---something nice for another person, even if it's just letting someone in front of me in traffic. I intend to make this a daily event, continuing past Easter.

Keeping within the confines of Lent: I'm giving up buying any clothes, including cycling stuff. Now I put it in writing, I can't renege! LOL. I hope there aren't any good sales during Lent. I had my last hurrah today, getting myself a pair of new bib shorts here at TE (in anticipation of that early spring that I'm willing into existence).
