I just finished breaking my fast. Fasting this year was actually quite easy which I was very surprised by. You know, considering absolutely nothing else has been.
I spent the day knitting, meditating on life, reflecting and remembering. I tried very hard not to dwell on any of the negative things in my life and was fairly successful. Mostly, though I though about my mom. I watched the yahrzeit candle burn down and cried a bit but all in all it felt like a cleansing, or a release.
I actually feel lighter and more at peace than I have in a quite a while. Plus, I now have the added bonus of having my name inscribed in the book of life.
Boo-yah!
