Day 19 - The Last Day

With only an hour to go in the Fast I look back at the last nineteen days with fondness. 

I know that sounds crazy coming from a guy who dreads this time of year but the experience has been one of the best ones for me. Despite having to stop physically fasting for three days during a tournament I was able to keep my focus and not go crazy eating during those days. 

My wife has been so helpful to me as well, making home made veggie and fruit juices for after the sun sets. She also reminded me of the importance of staying healthy and strong while shooting in a cold arena. Friends have also shown their interest in the Fast period and that has made conducting the Fast easier for me. That's the whole purpose behind this blog, to talk about what I'm doing and hopefully at the same time keeping me honest. 

Thanks to everyone who read and commented about this Fast. It was a good month. 

"It behoveth the people of Baha, throughout these days, to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy, and with joy and exultation to hail and glorify their Lord, to sing His praise and magnify His Name."Baha'u'llah on the period called Ayyam-i-Ha, days just before the Fast. 

Tried out a new lens today. I love a fixed focal length.
