Wow lol how did I miss this thread? I guess the similar thread finding function ain't working correctly.... but hey at least i tried.
I've been moving this weekend so no internet so obviously haven't been on the coli like that,
Last year i had to move in the middle of ramadan and it was rough this year thankfully getting some reprieve from work at least.
This thread has really brightened my mood, didn't realize so many muslims brehs and brehettes were here.
Never give up never surrender brehs even if you aren't able to make it one day keep trying the blessing is in the struggle.
Having grown up muslim I've been fasting my whole life it seems so I can see where people come from when they say the physical part is easy, but my wife converted a few years ago and I can tell it's very hard for her especially since it's been during the summer and she always has to work. So it's wise not to downplay the physical aspect.
As for me I have some very modest goals for ramadan
No bad language, cursing, racial epithets
Mind my temper
Read some quran every day
all my prayers on time
better concentration during prayer
no music
no more wandering eyes

this is going to be tough it's sundress season
more mindfulness of Allah through out the day
Lol I need to make a ramadan app with achievements like "iron man" for not missing a day, "first of many" for the first fast and reminders for suhoor and iftaar if only i bothered to learn to code.
