I think for this particular Lent and for this particular period of time, I'm going to revise my "Buy Nothing Pledge" a bit and get down to specifics, because even though Lent just started, I've already bought things I don't necessarily need (but definitely want) because they were on order before Lent.
So--revision.
No books from Amazon. I have a massive to-read pile. I need to whittle it down a bit. I can put as many books as I want in my cart, but I'm not buying any books (from Amazon or elsewhere) until after Lent is over.
Just to pay attention to what I purchase. If it can wait until later, then it can wait until later.
Giving up clutter for Lent, however, is something I can concentrate on, so that will continue apace.
