The Glittering Caves

...evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the torches pass on into another chamber and another dream.

ramadan mubarak













a view of a lighthouse on the bay of fundy from the cape d'or lookoff in northwestern nova scotia

alright so i'm a little late, but you know, baby and all... but anyway, ramadan mubarak to everyone! i'm fasting and nursing, and just leaving the results to Allah. i mean, he's almost 18 months. still trying to get him to eat more at each meal (this morning, 7/8 of a waffle and half a large peach. i had to shove the 7th waffle piece in his mouth and i gave up on the eighth. does that sound like a decent breakfast for a 1.5 year old? oh, and also a sippy cup with milk, but he had maybe one ounce of it. and yes, i did nurse him at night, and in the morning while he was still sleeping (meaning he woke and came crawling and clawing up to me trying to get at his milk then dozed back off). but i fed him breakfast because he was trying to nurse again, so he WAS hungry.)
anyway! alhamdulillah so far so good. it feels so good to be fasting again - i couldn't imagine not fasting a third ramadan in a row.
got work to do, and this is the only time i can do it, sinc eit's sunday and hubby is upstairs with musa, so off i go...
