Fasting Isn’t Easy

Today is the beginning of a new week. I’m actually looking forward to this week. I hope it will be a great one. This past week was actually pretty good. I didn’t get as much accomplished as I would have liked to, but I did make a lot of progress. Progress is always good. The worst thing about last week is that i broke my fast. I was only able to fast a few days. I don’t think I was mentally prepared to do it and I failed. That usually happens to me when I fast without preparing myself first.

Most people probably think fasting is as simple as not eating, but that definitely isn’t the case. My longest fast was for ten days last year and it took a lot of focus, determination, and meditation. Trust me, Fastin is not easy for most people. Especially when you live in a home where food is always being cooked. I’m not sure when I’ll trying fasting again, but I know one thing, I’ll be more prepared next time.

Welcoming Wind!

So far, this has been a great Summer!!! The weather has been incredible. Most days I can even get away with having no air on at all. I just open the window and I’m fine. I love it! It’s like there’s an air conditioner outside. Especially at night. It’s actually enjoyable to be outside in July. Who knew! If I had a car with a drop-top I would definitely be on the highway cruising around. When I was younger I used to love to ride on the highway when it was really windy because the wind would always take my breath away. As a child that was fun for some reason.

Now that I’m an adult, I would just like to feel the wind on my skin and blowing through my hair. That’s the best feeling! Maybe I’m odd. Most people I know have wind deflectors on their cars and they try to avoid the heavy winds. I guess those come in handy as well. When I’m all dressed up and my hair is looking fancy, the wind is my enemy!
