Although I am not Catholic, I "give up" something I enjoy during the Lenten season (six weeks prior to Easter Sunday). This has been stuff like Diet Pepsi and potato chips. Not a big deal. IF YOU HAD TO GIVE UP SOMETHING YOU REALLY LOVED FOR SIX WEEKS, WHAT WOULD IT BE? (By the way, I haven't had any soda in 2 1/2 years, and no POTATO chips since Ash Wednesday, 2011. Yeah, I'm pleased with myself for that.)

As long as it's not someone I love, I could give up anything for a time. Things that would mean the most to me would be giving up any and all reading material and sleep. I would have to have to have something to eat but I could give up any type of food. Also difficult would be giving up being outdoors in this gorgeous time of year, with this beautiful season we are having right now.

I'm way to selfish to sacrifice anything. I want what I want, when I want. I always, no exceptions get what I want.

When I saw this question posted, I thought it might have a deeper meaning. Recently, I just gave up the hope that I would ever have a relationship with my grandchildren as they are growing up. When they become adults? Who knows ... {{{sigh}}} Other things I've given up? A husband I still loved, cigarettes, and pot. I only miss one of these ...
