Starting Over

1 Ramadhan, 1446

12.46

An okay day so far, but too early to tell. Nice not to be at work, but have been getting a fair amount of work done. No choice really.

14.25

Now sitting at my desk at work. Popped over to get a couple of tasks done. Discovered it's very hot outside just walking across here and spared a thought or two or three for my brothers & sisters in Islam working outside and fasting in these conditions. Quietly heroic. Certainly stops me moaning overmuch.

17.35

Back at the ranch with a bit of a headache, but nothing serious. Hurts a bit more when I'm lying down doing nothing, so am attempting to stay upright doing something.

20.00

Even a power outage just 10 minutes ahead of the breaking of the fast could not dim my mild sense of euphoria on taking that first sip of water and munching on that date. Quite a gift. Hope all observing the fast felt something of the same - and Selamat Berpuasa to all!
