Fat Tuesday

Wow, I cannot believe it is already fat Tuesday. This year is going by FAST! A couple of days ago, I was thinking the upcoming Lent season, and tried to decide what I want to give up for Lent. I think I will give up junk food/ refined sugar/ overly processed stuff and focus, really focus, on fueling my body well for the next 40(ish) days until Easter.

I don't participate in services for Ash Wednesday or any of the other services for the Easter season, but I try to be mindful of the crucifixion and subsequent resurrection of Jesus Christ during this time of year. I guess I cherry pick different beliefs from different churches or religious traditions and implement them into my life as I see fit.

Do you celebrate Lent? What are you being mindful of this season?
