Fast Sunday


Well, I guess I'm one of those few people who happen to love fast Sunday. However, I haven't been able to fast for like a year and a half counting the time I was pregnant and now am still nursing. This results in me missing fasting quite a bit. I miss getting to forgo food and spend that time on more spiritual things. I can't remember missing a fast Sunday since I was like eight, but maybe my memory's just faulty. I only remember having a snack before dinner the first time I was fasting, but then I felt bad for eating when everyone else was waiting so I didn't do that again. I even was fasting when I was in France and that was the day we were scheduled to visit Le Mont Saint Michel so I couldn't go to church because we were going to an abbey instead.
I guess maybe fasting is harder for some people than others, because for years of primary and young women's and in the singles ward, and now in my own family, I couldn't figure out why everyone was so crabby and complaining so much. I guess it mostly bothers me this much to hear everyone's complaints about something they "have to do" that I would love to do but can't do until Edmund is completely weened or maybe once he's down to only nursing once a day. I guess a lot of people just spend the day in bed because they feel they have no energy since they didn't have any food, but I wish I could do more of the hour long scripture studying or the journaling I used to do instead of eating. Now I have to fit it in when I can, usually when Edmund's napping. 
In trying to make sure I had spelled forgo right I discovered that forego and forgo are two different words.
