First day of Ramadan

Ramadan Kareem to all my fellow muslims!

Today is the first day of Ramadan and I'm really excited! Ramadan is one of the best times of the year, especially if you live in a muslim country because you really feel the whole buzz of it. I will not go into the details of Ramadan and why it is holy for muslims, but I will say my aim is to strive this year to really make the best of it. Every day of it.

To be honest today I am feeling extremely weak and tired (although still optimistic ;-)). It's nice only having to work 5hrs at work during Ramadan, but today has been a totally unproductive work day because I seem unable to focus! Tomorrow will bring me more strength as I get used to fasting.

I've decided to have a "Quote of the Day" for each time I post, that will reflect my mood on that day. Today's is:

Quote of the Day:
