Velobambina, I like your strategy for doing something positive every day. Lent is so focused on the negative (literally--NOT doing something, giving something up), but I prefer the positive action focus.

Mind if I copy you?

Giving up sugar for Lent is SOOOOO, I don't know, 9th century? Okay, that's a stretch, since there probably wasn't alot of sugar in Christendom in the 9th century. But really, give up something that matters to the world! Or do something extra that matters to the world. The world around you or the world at large. No cake? What good does that do?

(yeah, yeah, yeah, it's supposed to be an inner spiritual thing, but I don't buy that the best way to get closer to the spiritual world is to give up cake).
