1000 happy days - Day 264

Y'know when you fast all day and you're tired at the end of it?  But then you break your fast and you're like.....I love water and food so much right now....  And you feel the itis after eating?  

And then you drag yourself to the masjid for taraweeh.  I wore my favorite blue suit.  It's perfect weather to go out at night.  I felt my excitement rise as we rolled out of the driveway.  We drive as a family to IIT, and it's literally a beehive of activity.  Suddenly my batteries are charged up.  We walk in and it's packed and I feel alive and happy and excited.  These are my people. ❤  These are the people I'm hustling with.  I love that hustle!  I love that so many are out there in the world hustling with me.  Standing together, praying together, I get to channel my energy to one place and indulge in the reverence of my faith.  It is renewing and fulfilling and very heart-warming.  

Fasting is tough nowadays but taraweeh inevitably makes it all worth while.  I love it.  ❤❤❤ I *love* that hustle.  Love and du'as to all my brothers and sisters hustling out there with me!
