Lent

Well its pancake day today and yep we missed it. As a traditional Kiwi house its quite often pancake day at our place. Pancakes are a bit of a family tradition and one that I don't mind adopting. However as it is "officially" pancake day and pals are telling me what they are giving up for lent, I thought I'd join in. But I don't want to give anything up (you don't say....) but I do want to do something a bit different and challenging. So what should I do for the next 40 days that is a bit different and not one of the traditional things to give up...? These are my ideas.

1. Get up early for the next 40 days. I have a work pal who gets up at 5:30am each day (weekends too) to meditate.
2. Do half an hour of proper exercise every day for 40 days.
3. Take packed lunch to work for the next 40 work days.
4. Write a proper blog entry for the next 40 days.....

Any more ideas? What should it be? Whatever I choose I may report back on a daily basis for the next 40 days.
