Tomorrow, I'm starting Arabic class and my first class towards my masters. I'm also on the Daniel fast. Me and the wife decided to add "No Sex" for 3 weeks to the fast.I'm ending day 2 and I keep getting head aches. I'm really thinking that I'm having sugar/caffeine withdrawal. Who would have ever thought that the eating part would be the hardest between no sex and no meat or bread. I'm not going to lie about how scared I am for what 2012 will bring in my life. I'm in completely uncharted territory. I'm at the point that I'm relying on ole negro spirituals to continue to be positive and have motivation. "I know he didn't bring me this far to leave me" plays over and over again in my head. When it comes to this fast I've noticed that my nutrition has never really been to good. But, I'm on the cusp of having high blood pressure and I don't want to start having medical problems at 25. Anyways, I've been trying to help out around the house more and really focus on spending time with my wife. She dropped a ton a bricks on me the other day. Expressing that she thought the only time I was nice or sweet to her was when I wanted sex. Going on to say that it has made it become more of a chore than love making. I of course hate losing in any aspect of the word so I decided to start washing the dishes and just being nicer or listening more than I have been. After this Daniel fast of no sex for 3 weeks hopefully things will be looking up. If you can learn anything from what my wife told me, spend time with your significant other. Kiss them, hug them, be next to them for no reason at all. Or you'll find yourself doing 3 weeks of celibacy or worst alone.
Peace

May the new year bring new challenges and successful accomplishments. Between graduate school, fasting and everything else, you seemed to embrace all that life has thrown at you. Be encouraged and "stay on course". Anything worth while, doesn't come easy.
