So actually it's a little over a week in and here's where I am right now with my Lenten discipline. Giving Up: No chocolate, no liquor. This seems to be harder this year than in past years. Maybe it's because I've been drinking more during this pandemic. Most nights I am really missing that glass of wine. It doesn't help that twice I've found the cork to a bottle of red wine in my dining room has "popped" out. Is someone trying to tell me something? I guess I didn't have it in tight enough? So I've really pushed it back in and so far so good. I have to say that I really missed a glass of red with a plate of spaghetti. But this practice forces me to THINK before I eat or drink, and that's definitely a good thing. (Something I don't do enough. Please note that although I have given up two of my favorite things, I have yet to lose a pound. Sigh.) Giving: I'm not specifically putting together a 40 days/40 items box to do
