Busy day today. Also really tired. I plan to minimize my food intake from here on out. I have an appointment with my doctor this week where he will be doing a full blood panel and I will post the results to my blog. I will also get some snap shots of my psoriasis and do a formal weigh in and post that info. I will be seeing my doctor regularly for the duration of my juice fast so these key result indicators will be updated weekly.
I have been offered acupuncture support from Monica at Acupuncture Healthcare Associates of Michigan. I have accepted. We are doing weekly sessions so I will be sure to report on those visits as well. Thanks again Monica!
Went to church today. Some of my religious friends have told me they will pray for my strength during this fast. It's actually really comforting the amount of support I have been getting from friends. They all seem to be confident in me and excited to see the results. Anyhow, I decided that I should do some praying as well. This was my first visit to a church in many years so it will take some adjusting. The interesting part was that the reverend who was leading the mass talked about Yin and Yang. He compared it to the ups and downs of life and how the winter months can get us down but to give thanks even for the darkness in life because it makes the brightness shine that much brighter. The concept itself is rather elementary and it has been used as an example countless times. As I said earlier I am pretty tired today so I found myself staring at the image of a Yin Yang that he propped up for us to see and zoned out while focusing on his eloquent wording. He also mentioned that winter can be used as a time of rest or repair. To cleanse ourselves for the busy seasons to come. Far out man!
Doesn't it seem like whenever you go on an introspective journey that the world around you supports you. It's like realizing something really important and then immediately realizing you were the last to figure it out. I have been having a lot of Aha! moments. They are reassuring. Each one brings me closer to serenity and helps me realize that February will be full of Yin and Yang but no matter what I will be experiencing a new side of life and for that, I am thankful.
