I’ve decided to give up watching TV. It’s going to be hard for me.
I always add a positive to do during Lent as well like “say a kind thing to someone every day” or do a “random act of kindness” but I can’t think of one this year. Any suggestions? |

| Oh for a positive one: maybe a gratitude list, if you don’t already do that? Maybe write a card to older relatives once a week or something? |

Might be wise to give them up forever - or at least cut down -- it's a big expense with little nutritional value and tons of calories |

Sugar/sweets.
I am also meeting with friends weekly to do a little discussion on furthering our faith. We are reading this nook based on St Thérèse: https://www.amazon.com/Believe-Love-Personal-Retreat-Teaching/dp/1928832288 I also have some things planned with my CCD class to help out serving and donating to a DV shelter where I volunteer. |

Be more present.
Which means.... Don't look at my phone while talking to others. Don't look at phone during a meeting. Don't look at my phone during a meal. Don't look at phone while watching a TV show. Don't check email or the internet while working/at kids events/etc. Etc. |
