[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I once went to a mass and the priest said don’t give up something that’s gojng to make you a cranky less pleasant person[/b]. Instead add something that will make you a better person. He said when he was in the army he gave up his occasional cigar and all his friends said it made him a much bigger jerk. So the next year he did something like add a rosary each morning. I should give up weekend TV watching as I’m kind of an addict. But then I would also probably give up my exercise/stretching routine. I’m going to try to cut back but probably won’t have the will power if I’m honest. [/quote] On the one hand I totally understand the bolded (it's why I don't fast a full day on Lenten Fridays, just part of it...so I can still be nice to my family). On the other hand, isn't part of the point to learn to rely on God to be less cranky?[/quote]
