Comments on Lent! by InMD in reply to Marchmaine

Dude it's bad! And it's so easy to find yourself spending hours every night, mentally stressed, all from doing literally nothing. It's also easy to absent mindedly fall into. At least smoking used to have a kind of social component to it.

I did a pre-Lent visit to the Shrine in DC on Saturday for confession then mass as kind of a mini pilgrimage to kick things off.

My battle is going to primarily be against my phone and the evening habit of constantly circling through various sites and social media of no good use to my mental or spiritual health. I found an old Kindle we had gathering dust in the basement and am going to try to use it as a means of just freaking looking at something else.

That sounds like a cool idea but way too complicated for my household especially with the biggest having baseball practice for his travel team on Fridays. I'm staring straight down the barrel of kraft mac and cheese, scrambled eggs, and probably that most traditional of all Lenten cuisine, the filet-o-fish.
