Lent is about growth

Ash Wednesday (today) is the beginning of Lent. The word "Lent" is from the Old English word for "Spring" though somehow "If I ruled the world every day would be the first day of Lent" does have quite the same ring to it.
Spring is a time for growth and the beginning of Lent poses the question for us, what do we want to grow in by Easter? Do we want to grow emotionally, spiritually, intellectually or physically? what do we need to do to cause that growth?
