Today is the start of the Lenten season. For some, Lent is a time to commit to fast or give up something for the 4o days between Ash Wednesday (today) and Easter (Sunday April 8th).
I did not grow up with the tradition of fasting or giving something up for Lent, but I have observed the tradition of abstinence for the past couple of years, and I will observe the tradition again this year. Let the journey begin.
