Feeling normal on the 10th day

Hi Friends,
As my fast is about to enter the 10th day, I'm feeling normal for this stage of the fast (from previous 6 years of experience). Earlier in the week, I also successfully recovered from a head cold. Vital signs were also normal as I was checked by a doctor last Friday, during an unrelated regular checkup. I'm feeling well & in good spirits. The energy levels are, of course, lower than normal, and I take that into account in every physical activity including walking. Writing this from the Quaker meetinghouse. A mid-week opportunity for communication didn't materialize last week. Thanks again for your support.

ps: This month's Newsletter of my Quaker Meeting has an interview with me. It's on the page 9 of the "Current Month's Newsletter" on the Newsletters link at fifteenth.quaker.org After the end of January, it'll be found under the "Previous Month's Newsletter"

Note added April 2008: The interview page may now be viewed (as a PDF file) at:
