My job (and husband's) has allowed for travel/relocation and may do so in the future, so I'm staying involved in case we do move. I absolutely love the organization itself, love volunteering, etc, but this seems to be a similar feeling of a few other women re the JLW from my basic google searches.

Lent isn't supposed to necessarily be about giving up food (although, if it's a real vice that's ok). It's supposed to be about giving up something that is a sacrifice for you and in turn will remind you of Christ's sacrifice. It just seems wrong to say, Well I'm happy with my diet... so I guess I'll give up french fries. I’m giving up Youtube videos and spending that time doing other things like praying, etc.

Generally, I try to take the time to focus on myself and what I could do to improve myself, whatever that may mean each year. This year it's focusing on my happiness and contentment with where my life is at this moment. :) I don’t usually give anything up, nor do I think I will this year.

Although fries might me a good one to add. Im gluten free and found the Chips creeping in too much when out or at a friends house. A few squares of dark Chocolate or a mini pb cup became a nightly occurrence. Tortilla chips and chocolate!! Although fries might me a good one to add.

Also, COMPLETELY unaware that Chipotle has brown rice?? Maybe that's just a NY thing, because I have never noticed it here, unless they keep it in a hidden container under the counter, lol.
