The hockey season is just about over and groups around the province are thick into provincials championships. I get to shoot some of these provincials right smack dab in the middle of the Fast.
Last year I attempted to abstain from eating and drinking but had to break my fast to function. I was a wreck of a man. Cutting my Fast during the nineteen day period was a personal disappointment for me, I stopped writing with three days left to go. That last tournament was also basically at the end of the time to fast as well.
My wife was quite supportive and somewhat flabbergasted as I berated myself over and over again. Since then I have put a little more research into what constitutes a reason to stop fasting. That has been pretty interesting as there is nothing in the Baha'i writings on shooting a hockey tournament in cold arenas.
I am going to monitor my day and give every effort to keep fasting, I have fasted during a tournament before and made it through in previous years. If the issues become health related then I will stop for the tournament and get back into it for the last three days. If anyone else has suggestions I'm willing to hear them.
Wandering the streets of Ponoka looking for a decent photo was tough. Eventually this empty store caught my eye.
