Ash Wednesday

I've never participated in Lent,

but since it's more commonly observed 

here in England...

 I'm jumping in on the action.

I'm picking sweets...

{which I've noticed is a common thing for girls?}

Starting today,

I'm parting ways

with my sugary little habit.

{Until Easter, when all the good candy goes on clearance.}

Are you giving anything up for Lent?

Have you before? Or are you a first timer, too?
