March 9, Day 9
The last couple of days I have been nursing a cold and because of that have not been fasting.
Whenever I get sick during the fast I hit a major personal stumbling block: what now? I get so fixated on the physical side of the fast I forget it's spiritual in nature. This is a good sign of how much I love to eat, or really, how attached I am to eating.
The fasting period is still here though and the spiritual side is within reach. It really comes down to this: being able to practice restraint on a physical level helps develop those spiritual muscles. That is where I need to focus my energy.
Shooting basketball can be fun but can also be a lot of the same types of shots. Looking for something different creates an exciting challenge.
