Just curious!
I'm interested in the idea of sacrificing something during Lent to appreciate it/your life more. Although I'm not really Catholic, I have observed Lent in the past by giving up things like coffee (hard!) and chocolate. I've also toyed with the idea of fasting during Ramadan (although I'm not Muslim, either).
Anybody else appreciate the idea of the religious fast or sacrifice? And what do you think it does for the individual who participates?
