I wondered what I should give up for Lent.
My first thought was alcohol, because I am a self-diagnosed alcoholic. I try, and fail. this was not a good Lent trial.
I decided to give up social media. I would restrict my on-line appearance to e-mails and blog posts. I had already cancelled my Facebook account and for Lent I decided to ignore Twitter and Flick Chat. I have no other subscriptions. I still listen to podcasts and read blog posts.
With one exception, I have succeeded. The exception (a podcaster) was in my contact book, so I e-mailed direct. I think this falls within the rules.
