A day of fasting

Day 908 - It is a day of fasting in our religion. Not a very major one like the day of atonement, but still a big one. And I although not religious decided few years ago to fast on that day. Fasting is easy for me, I stayed home read books, rested and it was a wonderful day. And now, after eating and drinking enough at the end of the fast, I am ready to go to sleep. I like doing that every once in a while, it connects me to higher places, to forces greater than I can even imagine, it makes me feel good and fulfilled and I like that. A simple act of fasting can take one a very long way...
 
I am thankful for this special opportunity to do something outside of my regular routine. I am thankful for the opportunity to reconnect with my heritage. I am thankful for a very relaxed day at home.
