Re: Day 10 of my water fast

You made me proud, Sacristia. It is good you post every day. You are doing others a big favor. Keep on. You are such a good example.

I'll tell you, I am a very lonely female (if I count the males around me). But I have learned to feel the presence of others, the presence of nature, birds, my dog, trees, etc.

I take the liberty to advise you not to let any person sadden you any more. You are dealing with the fast which can bring you joy and also streme sadness. Whenever I feel very lonely and there are persons (A or B or C) presenting challenges to me, I decide to do NOTHING. Believe me, dear, that is the best thing to do now in your circumstances. If a particular person will not wait for the right person, you want that person away from you for good. Doing nothing is the best thing to do often times when we are coping with some challenges, like fasting. Do not fight their influence on you. Do not question yourself regarding your future with any of them. Do not depress yourself even more with that attitude.

I have applied that attitude in my life with pretty good results. I am starting my fasting today, and, I do undertand that emotional conflicts can make it harder on me, so on you and every body else. Peace, sister.
