Someone asked about non-muslim accounts of Ramadan. Well, here I am !

This year, I decided to observe the fasting done in Ramadan. I got to see what someone fasting does (last year) and so this year, I thought I would give it a try myself. I have many reasons for my decision (religious, spiritual, self-bettering, personal tests, etc etc etc).

This is day #5 and so far, so good! I generally don't feel hungry, maybe just a bit thirsty and I am beyond paranoid about my breath!

I'm actually fighting off a bit of a cold in the meantime (I've been feeling a bit sick since day one: sneezing, scratchy throat, but it never materialises into a full-blown cold).

My only complaints:
1- I usually eat alone. I don't like eating alone - food tastes better when you share it with someone.
2- As a non-muslim, I don't get to celebrate Eid at the end of this month. :-(

But so far, it's a great experience and it makes me more thankful for what I have and I talk to God more often than before.
