Lent

Finally got some time to write about Lent. Actually not been updating the blog for about a month now. Lent has come and gone and this year I actually decided to give up something. What it was was to give up soft drinks, which basically means no Coke for a month. I have to admit, it was harder than expected. It was not so much the sacrifice but the need to remember not to order a soft drink at meal times. The first week was tough, as I drank coke almost as soon as I started as it was part of a set meal. But I did learn my lesson and I never ordered a soft drink again for a month with any set meal. I got coffee instead. The other time I broke it was on the following where I was at a friends birthday party and just happen to drink a cup of coke. I was more careful from then on and I think I managed quite well besides those 2 slip ups. One whole month without coke was I think an achievement for me. It did not feel so bad actually and I just had it again and strangely it felt like I was drinking it for the first time again !
