Lent is not really a part of my religion, so I am not a really a strict adherent.  However since many of my friends have the tradition, I have decided that I will try to be more positive and have more faith in the mercy and goodness of my Creator. 

I'm giving it a go!  So far I'm doing well with the effort. 

My underlying pre-Easter tradition is gorging on chocolate eggs and bunnies. . .

In recent years, I have tried to do things during Lent that I have been procrastinating. It is very painful.
