A blessed and peaceful Lent to all

As we look forward to Easter (Pascha), don't think about bacon. Or candy. Or...

Well, good luck, everybody.

Lent and denial. - I've never been very good at the denial part. I usually forget and break down very quickly, just like with New Year's resolutions.
I tell myself I'll do the positive stuff, rather than denial.
Not so great at that either.
Old habits die hard.
