I feel a sense of pride at being able to resist the temptation of wanting to order Chinese-style pork chops on a Friday, when as a Catholic, I've to abstain from meat. I so wanted to order it and do another form of abstinence, as we're allowed to. However I told myself I'll not order it and offered this up as a sacrifice for my loved ones.
Then I found out I could eat meat that day because it was a Solemnity. Aiya, oh well, I feel prouder cos I resisted the temptation even though I didn't have to. :) Also, I get to pray for my loved ones by offering it up for them.
