40 Days Without Chocolate
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the Season of Lent. Though I am not religious in traditional ways, I like the Lenten tradition of giving up something you enjoy. It's a good way to rekindle some self discipline and remind ourselves that we should not be slaves to pleasure.
This year, I've decided to give up chocolate. Chocolate is not a daily indulgence for me, but it's definitely going to be a challenge to resist it for forty days. Especially when the Trader Joe's chocolate-covered blueberries I have locked in my desk drawer are calling my name and it's only the second day.

I know Jesus gave his life, but he didn't give up chocolate, so neither should I.
How can you argue with that logic? :)
