intriguing idea. She gave something different up every month for a year. I did this myself last year and it was interesting. It made the year seem longer, and each month longer as well. I didn't do too well some months, better other months. I'd try it again another year to see what I would choose to give up. The writing was so-so, though. ( )

Got some insights from this book, liked the comparison between sacrifice and deprivation.
