Coffee

I gave up coffee (among other things) for Lent. I have since learned a few things.

  1. There is coffee EVERYWHERE.
  2. Coffee is my version of comfort food.
  3. It is also how I relax and I associate it with indulgence.
I really want to drink coffee. I can't wait until Easter.

I never had trouble fasting for Lent before. I don't even remember it being this hard to give up TV and music in the car. This time fasting is really a struggle, which was my purpose, but it is hard. I am not particularly fond of self denial (I guess no one is) and I keep finding myself craving the things I gave up (mostly coffee).
