WHAT UP AND NOT UP FOR LENT?
Yep, we are way passed Ash Wednesday and well into the season of Lent. I hope no one still
gives up sex for Lent. Just too sweet an activity to give up, for crying out loud.
Things you could give up: being bitter (in contrast to sweet),being loud, mean, nasty,
critical, macho, macha (!) snoring, silent treatments, being cold, withholding (whatever it is you withhold) being in control,
picking your nose (even in the privacy of your car), flipping off idiots on the freeway (or anywhere else!--You see, I agree
with you, they are idiots, but they are also just like you and me)groping, grousing, and any other --ing that gets a less
than wonder-filled response from the people you love.
You could also give up living at the office, the church, the neighbor's house, the
VFW, the tobacco shop, the donut shop, the yogurt store, the gym, the ball field, or even your own garage.
You could give up public farting, public flossing, and similar behaviors that tend to leave
your loved ones walking either way behind or far ahead!
You could give up rushing, lollie gagging, looking in the mirror when you are ready to go for
more than a minute, give up looking at yourself in pane glass windows, mirrors in department stores, and staring at yourself
on closed circuit television screens. That last one is kind of easy, uh? We all look like we are from another
planet on those screens. Why is that? Maybe because that is how we actually look? I hope not.
You could give up hoarding the remote, fast forwarding through commercials without asking permission,
rewinding during commercials to rewatch a particular segment without asking permission, and using your #%$@&& cell
phone when someone who thinks you love them is talking to you!
Hey, if you think of any others, let me know! HAPPY LENT!

This is one of my favorite piano pieces from the many concerts I attended as a little
kid right there in my own living room--listening to Mom play.
