For the past couple of years, I've given up something for Lent, but not this year. Not yet anyway. Ash Wednesday crept up on us pretty quickly, and the procrastinator in me emerged. Probably, after the weekend, I'll figure out what thing I didn't do all week, and then continue to not do that thing. I will not be giving up coffee for Lent.
Last year, I did. No coffee for the entirety of the 46 days. I yearned for the stuff. I craved it. But I held out. Then, on Easter Sunday, Lent was over, and I was able to get a release. I think I drank four cups of coffee at home. Then I stopped at Starbucks and got some more. I had missed the baristas and baristos so much.
I spent the entirety of Easter Sunday hyper like a four-year-old. I peed six times in four hours. I couldn't sit still. At about 3:30, I fell asleep at the kitchen table.

I am not really giving up anything, but I am going to fast on Friday's during the daylight hours.
Never really been one to give anything up.
Dan tries to get me to fast from coffee every year. I just can't do it (which is why he tries.) There's something about being a student and drinking coffee that are inseparable for me. So my compromise this year is that I'm not buying any coffee when I'm out studying. I get to get tea or something just no coffee and I can still make my own coffee at home. It's a lot of exceptions but somehow it's still a big sacrifice for me.
