Time for reflection

My Dear Void.
I made a decision today, not really today, I have been thinking about it for quite some time. Tomorrow a Holy month of Ramadan starts and millions of people over the world observe it and here as well. It is considered a time to get closer to God, endure what some of your less fortunate fellow men go through and its also a time of reflection.
I made the decision to do the same. I cannot fast due to my health but I can definitely make some modifications. I feel the need to look into myself. Dedicate time for myself and as I said, get closer to God. He cannot give me the answers I need on a silver platter but I will pray for the clarity to see and find the answers.

And what does the weather do when its time for millions to start going without eating and drinking throughout the day? It gets blistering hot. Right now, there's 29 degrees outside. I know, I know is not as hot as in some other places, but it doesn't happen often here that sun comes out scorching and wind takes a break. I went out with my shopping trolley to get few things from the nearby shop and I came back all thirsty and sweaty. I honestly don't know how these women in Arabic countries can go out dressed all in black from head to toe. I asked one of my colleague last year who is from Iraq that what do the ladies wear underneath those black cloaks and she just looked me and smiled, saying that they probably don't wear much at all. Unbelievable. I would be a walking heat-stroke waiting to happen.
