So far, it's going well. It usually takes a few days to get into the routine of it and get used to not eating or drinking during daylight hours.
I work a shift from 2 pm to 11 pm and sunset is around 7 pm now, so this makes it easier as a significant part of my workday is after sunset, when I can break my fast.
One of the things I like most about Ramadan is the sense of community with Muslims around the world who are also fasting at the same time. It strengthens my feeling of being part of something larger than myself.
The Muslim community in the area where I live is somewhat scattered, so this sense of community is important to me.
While surfing during the week, I happened to come across Radio Ramadhan Glasgow and just for kicks listened for awhile. I live near Seattle, so people in the UK are eight hours ahead of me. Thus when I was listening in the afternoon my time, they were playing a program called "Late Night Live".
But except for the time zone confusion, and the Scottish accents, it all felt very familiar. The patterns and language of Ramadan and of living Islam are the same, the concerns are the same.
I'm glad I passed some of my time that way.
