Doing anything special for Lent?
Nothing special, except the usual - fish fries and the like. I usually don't give up things for Lent, per se - to me, it's a time of spiritual growth. Maybe giving up something is part of the equation, but that's nor really a focus for me.

I fast during the lunch hour and spend that time in prayer, meditation and study...and this year will be no different. I tend to lose focus during the day because of a hectic schedule...I should probably do this all the time.
and yes...fish!

I'm Byzantine Rite Catholic and we (I) were never taught to "give up" something but rather to look at ourselves & our behavior, to help others as Jesus did (just because we were taught it didn't mean the leaders did it).
One thing I REALLY hate (other than people being late) is hypocrisy. So then I took a long look at myself and frankly, my claiming that I try not to be hypocritical is probably the biggest hypocrisy around me (personally, let's not look at the candidates). So that's what I'm doing.
How am I doing it?? OK, this is truly truly hard. I'm going into selective silence. Totally silence is really easy -- what is hard for me is the part where someone is saying something and I feel I "have" to contribute to "one up". Only if it helps, to show that they are not alone, will I say something, and then usually in private. I am trying to BE a Christian, not just profess being one.
So wish me luck. If that doesn't work, there's always chocolate.
