Hallelujah.

Where are all my Muslim friends. We must celebrate together. My stomach is prepared.

Big Congrats to them. Fasting isn't easy. Even when I water fast for health reasons (which is way harder than the Muslim fast). I know how it can be. Done 21 days only water type of fasting. Day 1 to day 3 is a drag. By day 4 hunger goes away. Fasting is highly beneficial to one's health. Blood pressure normalizes,blood sugar goes down, medical conditions get fixed. Bad cells die off. The body rejuvenates.


I rub my hands in glee waiting for the celebration. I shall enjoy the meals. I will even go soliciting for it.
