Lent has arrived. No big Fat Tuesday celebration last night. Just a quiet slide into Lent. It is my understanding that most people do not practice it any longer. There is no giving up of something for Lent. I am not Catholic. I have never been Catholic. I have not been any whatever it is that does practice self-renunciation for Lent. Yet for years now I have practiced it.
It is something like the InCoWriMo or Inktober or my Blogging Month of August or other set period of time that I do something different. In this case, I give something up. This year it is eating meat, well actually all animal products. Or to put it simply, vegan.
Going vegan is easy on the world. And it is something to make me appreciate animals and what they have provided to us as we consume them. I think about it a lot and I do not consume them I recall all that I have in the past.
Today is the first of 40.
Onward!
