Ramadan Diary, day 0

so this is my first Ramadan. I'm excited and a little apprehensive. Nothing serious, inshallah, my iman will grow as I get to know myself, my body, my soul and الله. Strength and willpower, inshallah, bolstered and supplied by the creator and sustainer of all the worlds. Every test a blessing.

الحمد لله

I have the intention of sitting down every day at some point to record my experience. I also have the intention of, starting saturday, finding something to do, some way to volunteer or otherwise give my time to a worthwhile cause. Inshallah, I'll have the ability to do both.

I have some painting to do and I believe a friend of mine needs his deck stained - that's a start. Inshallah, I may even be able to handle helping out with an iftar.
