Anyone giving up anything for Lent??
I'm going to be brave and say no to candy for the next 40 days!
Trying to give it up for lent . . .
I have a horrible habit of dropping bad language. I don't even know why because I try so hard to be a good person, it just flies out without me even realizing it. The F is one I do avoid the most, though. I hate hearing bad words come out of my kids' mouths and I just cringe. Mostly do it when stressed, but that seems to be quite often lately . . .
I'm trying to give it up for Lent too. Not doing so well...(sm)
I don't use the F word either, but the funny thing is, the only time I am EVER tempted to use bad language and can't control myself is when I'm typing...screaming and cursing at the doctors and PAs. Otherwise, I can control myself and don't feel the need to curse.
It is Lent so I am being honest - potty mouth without the kids.....sm
in private, I let RIP at times, it just feels good and releases a lot of tension, and of course right after I say a "forgive me god," which is so hypocritical, but he made me Latin and with a simmering temper, so what else can I say. Never in front of kids, my elders, mainly alone.
