It might help me start a diet. Sugar! That's what I'll give up. Let's see how long that lasts. No plans for Valentine's Day, but if my husband presents me with chocolates I'm afraid the sugar fast will not last beyond today.

As I matured, I thought about it and tried to understand how giving up led to anything productive. It would be better to be positive and do something kind for someone, even if it is just a smile or calling a friend.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-12080957864644563412018-02-14T06:10:57.268-05:002018-02-14T06:10:57.268-05:00For my generation in Europe VD is still a blow-in ...For my generation in Europe VD is still a blow-in from across the pond. Welcome, no less. But it has no significance to most people I know - apart from teenage nieces. I don't think we adults ever exchanged a VD card or did anything special on that day.<br /><br />I give up something every lent in memory of my beloved father-in-law, who challenged me, the heathen foreign hussy, the first year I appeared on his family scene. He was a very serious catholic and for him, it was alcohol, sugar and cigars.<br />I usually opt for sugar and sweets. This morning we are all slightly nauseous from last night's pancake overdose (Shrove Tuesday is another family tradition) and at least for now, no sugar feels easy peasy.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-38652431687874459462018-02-14T04:05:30.204-05:002018-02-14T04:05:30.204-05:00Given up anything?

I don't smoke, don't drink more than what I can handle (never alone, and never too much; rarely on a week night unless it is someone's birthday), and I definitely would find giving up chocolate and/or coffee and/or bread and/or cheese VERY hard! So maybe I should try one of those, just for the sake of testing my mental ability to cope without those small luxuries? I don't think it makes a difference to God, unless, as someone said above, it is for a really good reason.<br /><br />We don't "do" Valentine's Day here; it is a tradition that has only sprung up in the last 20-odd years or so in Germany. But O.K. and I have the anniversary of our first date at the end of this month, and I hope we can arrange for a nice meal at a good restaurant. It is a week night, however, and us living 150 km apart makes it difficult to do anything together that is not on a weekend.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-45518858801680190192018-02-13T23:43:01.333-05:002018-02-13T23:43:01.333-05:00No, I don't give-up anything.

When he realized that was Valentine's Day he said, "Wow! What idiot scheduled that?"<br />Which isn't going to stop him from going to the game which is fine with me. <br />I made him a cake today that looks like hell but I think he's going to love it. And I'm going to cook scallops so that's all special. <br />Give up something for Lent? Haha! I can see how that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing but I"m with Anne Marie. What kind of a god would be pleased to see you give up something which brings you happiness? Unless it's for a really good reason.
