In Anticipation

We're roughly a month away from Ramadhan for 2023 - starting 23 March - and I'm engaged in the usual mental preparation to help prepare for the challenge ahead, and its attendant satisfactions. To be honest, in the early stages of recovery from my recent illness I wasn't at all sure I'd be able to handle the demands of fasting and working at the same time, but now I'm looking forward to the experience. With some trepidation, certainly, but looking ahead all the same.

Interesting that a number of websites and the like dedicated to the theme of staving off dementia recommend fasting. Not intuitively obvious, is it? But a welcome note to someone a bit concerned about the healthy functioning of his grey matter.
