What Are You Giving Up for Lent?

Chocolate, coffee, smoking? Tell us what you are giving up.

Today is Ash Wednesday. People often give something up on Ash Wednesday for Lent. Do you plan to give something up?

We asked residents what they plan to give up on Facebook.

  • De Bellofatto Keimach said, "I think instead of giving up, what I'll be doing is adding in. Adding in more fitness, adding in healthier choices, adding in more peace and less losing my mind over little things. Chocolate must stay!"
  • Sandy Spears Griffin said, "Chocolate is a must have for sure!! Instead of "Giving up" I will be focusing on doing more for others."

Are you giving something up? Coffee, soda, smoking, alcohol or something else? Or do you also plan to add something to your life?
