Easter is upon us. Today is Good Friday. I have to admit that I haven’t quite succeeded in my commitment. A couple of times, I simply forgot that it was Friday until I caught myself in the middle of lunch. A couple of other times there were family events going on that I felt required me to make an exception. 
The question here is why. Why did I feel that I couldn’t tell my family that I couldn’t join them because i was not eating on Friday and Saturday? It’s not as though they don’t know of my religious standing. Most of them were fully aware of my plans, they simply kept forgetting.
Some of them also make commitments at this time of year. My youngest daughter gave up cake for Lent. Not just on specific days, but for the entire season.
