Once January comes, I automatically begin thinking ahead for Lent. And it comes early this year, February 14th! I’d suggest everyone starting planning ahead because it’s gonna be here before you know it! 🙂

We’ve got our parish Mission planned…with a theme of healing
 
Do cold water showers for lent! ive done it for the past years, and its really good mortification.
 
My thing for this time of year is to start looking at my calendar to see when I can carve out a week for my Lenten retreat. Always something I look forward to.
 
My FB prayer group is already fasting and praying. Doing a 54-day Rosary novena followed by a 33-day Marian consecration and everything concluding on the Easter Vigil.
I fasted today. So yeah, Lent’s pretty much already here…maybe on Fat Tuesday I get to take a day off and eat pancakes

Unless you have a heart condition, in which case it might be hospital time.

I just run out in the 3 degree weather in a t-shirt to clean out the cat litter pans. Same effect.
 
I’ve already got a nice little Carmelite book for a Lenten retreat. I’m looking forward to it.
 
I have no idea what I’m going to do for lent…besides eating a lot of fish.
 
I prefer to focus on Christmastide and Epiphanytide first. I don’t start looking forward to Lent until after Candlemas on Fed 2nd. 🙂
