Day 17 - Inspiration

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I'm still here.
Being sick last week and shooting a hockey tournament over the weekend has left me with little to say. Last week I was busy putting lose ends before covering a hockey tournament that I had little time for anything else (another reason the large gap in my posts).
Today was the first day I fasted since ages ago and with three days left I was feeling like a lame Baha'i. There's nothing in the Baha'i Faith about being lame so I had all day yesterday to consider my lameness.
Truthfully, with so little time left in the fast I debated whether I was going to fast at all. This is what I mean by lame.
But inspiration hit through an Instagram feed of a friend of mine. A photo he submitted to the Nineteen Days fast blog sparked my spirit and positive thoughts.
"I can do this," I said to myself.
It doesn't matter if it's three days left. There is still the time in this fast and after March 20 it will all be over. I'll have to wait a whole year to be worried for March 2.
So today I dusted off my weary spirit and got up before sunrise, had my breakfast and restrained from eating. I got a killer headache and powered through it.

Today I was grateful for inspiration from a friend a million miles away.

Hockey action was pretty much the only thing I took pictures of for the last four days. I listened to music, shot hockey, listened to music, spoke with parents and shot more hockey. The weekend was busy and I found parents were pleased with my work. I'm grateful for that as I really enjoy taking pictures. So here's some hockey action. Enjoy.
