Lent: For the Non-Catholic

I'm not Catholic or particularly religious, but ever since I left home for college I have always given up something for Lent. I think it's good to remind myself (at least once a year) how fortunate I am and how little others get by on...be that food, money, love, etc.

So are you ready for the big unveil?

This year for the Lenten season I am giving up soda.

Say what?

You didn't know I could survive without Diet Coke?

Me either.

We'll see how this goes, abstaining for 40 days and nights...STARTS NOW!

Can I do it?
