4, 4, give me more

Reading List:  Bible
                          The Year of Living Biblically

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.  Man I am tired today.  I don't know whats up.  My body has been screaming for a nap.  Of course I am a huge fan of sleep.  I dig it, I love to curl up with  a blanket and zone out.  Especially in the winter.  But today surpasses all of that.  I am flat out tired.  I'm sure it is  a symptom of the fast.  I may be in bed before the kids tonight.

Well it seems I am getting past the major hunger pains.  There is the occasional growl, but other than that I am through the intro stage.   However I do get the frequent craving for something really greasy.  Weird I know.  My mouth feels gross.  I have to brush all the time.  It has this coating from the detoxing.  I am not a big fan of this side effect.

On the upside, I am feeling impassioned about my work.  I have been getting all kinds of ideas and creative inspiration. I have to keep a notebook going so I don't forget anything.  I love creativity, I thrive on it.  As I recall from other fasts, substituting prayer for food just opens the floodgates.   I think it clears your mind.  Then the wheels start turning.  Next week we have a staff brainstorming meeting.  I am ready to bring the lightning!
