The one thing I can be sure of is that life always changes. It's full of twists and turns that I never seem to anticipate. I work really hard to keep everything status quo, resisting the inevitable. In spite of this, as I travel along, I run into something or something runs into, over, or right through me. Why am I always surprised?
The past week has been trying - it involved an emergency road trip to support a family member going through a particularly devastating time. This is the same family member who was the cause of similar devastation many years ago. Let's just say there's lots of emotional crap stirring inside me.
With every change, I always seem to reach for food to smother out whatever is going on. I wish my initial response to change/adversity was different - like go into automatic fasting mode.
I need some clarity. Maybe a fast is in order, to help me focus and figure out everything I'm feeling. That would probably be wise. But honestly, I'm resisting the urge to chow down on a seriously unhealthy breakfast.
