Detox your Burger

Detox your Burger

Welcome to Wicked Wednesday. I am posting a little late tonight, because it was a long day and wicked as terminology goes seems like a late word.

I felt like shit when I woke up, my body ached. I wanted to just lay there, for more than one reason. So I did. I like to get up between 6:30 and 7:30 so I can go to the gym before I do anything. Nala sleeps till at least 11 am, almost every day. But today I couldn’t do it. I woke again to my alarm, The Imperial March, and was like fuck its 11. As I realize what’s going on with my body, I take the time to evaluate, and accept where I am in the moment. I make it to get some tea, Earl Grey Black, my favorite. Sometimes that is all it takes, is just one thing to make me happy. I wish it were that way for all of us. Like I said I didn’t feel good when I woke up, but I am on this kick of adapting and trying to see others tragedy, and not judge them for their actions.

Today was just that difficult, the moon is at the waxing gibbous or the "Moon of Endings". The location of the moon is 135 - 180 degrees ahead of the Sun, and patience and preparation for Full Moon energies is what is important for us now, and I feel that most people are oblivious to the power of the full moon. The ability to tie off loose ends, and make do with what you have to work with, at a moment’s notice.

It’s been building for over a week, the strength of the moon. It shows when I am around people. The attitudes become much more combatative, and hasty. I find myself wanting to help them, in my empathic state of being, and I do my best to accept I don’t have the time to fix everyone’s problems. Ha! I wish that was something I learned before my thirties. Then I remember a time that I realized that it’s all what you make it, and if you can see beyond what is front of you, persevere and find happiness in your surroundings. It can make any difficult situation seem not so bleak.

I was delivering, in a nice part of town. I had done two or three and was about to be finished for the night. When I received a ding on my phone, to go pick up an order from a local vegan restaurant. I accepted it. I usually do because for some reason I feel sorry for vegans. It must be hard in this meat eating, dairy consuming society. What it’s like to be a vegetable eating hero, to all those animals, the bunnies, cows and deer. Among all the other amazing effects being vegan has on your body (if done correctly). I attempted Vegan, in a half ass sort of way when I was in my 20’s. I failed miserably. So I usually, always, deliver vegan food. I had never been in the restaurant before, and when I stepped foot in the door it smelled amazing. I tell the girl behind the counter, without a stitch of makeup still has flawless skin that I will have to come in a try a pizza. The sign said Gluten free and I jump at the chance to eat anything gluten free, just to see if it tastes good enough for me to eat all the time. She kindly hands me the delivery order and I walk out to my car hop in and find out where I am going. It says it’s three minutes away, Three minutes I think. Ok well I am on the main strip where you could find anything so I take a right and my GPS pulls me into a burger joint. I hop out and ask the first person I see, are you Sam? Did you order some food for delivery? He looks straight at me and smiles. He turns around and points inside the burger place, so I say thank you and walk in. I walk up to the counter and see a young man smiling, looking elated to see me, like an angel with bells. I put the bag of food on the counter and say..well well are you Sam? He smiles and says yes. He grabs the bag and clasps it, like its Christmas morning. I say it must suck to work here when you are a vegan, and he replies quickly with, “It’s all about perspective.” I leaned over and say “good for you” and walk out the door.

Only when we accept ourselves in our CURRENT SITUATION, which seems as if this is a revolving theme this week, to be here now, and work with what you have, use the energy that not only the moon but that the planets in retrograde are giving you. Realize that our circumstances only dictate our happiness if you let them. I feel that that person I delivered to, has a story. A story that explains why a Vegan would ever want to work with beef every day, or that maybe the responsibility of making money was just to great to be proud. It takes dedication, and discipline to build a life that allows you to succeed and thrive. Some of us are willing to bite the proverbial bullet and work thorough the dark till you see the light. I know I sure as hell did growing up, even continuing to better myself helps me to see just how strong I really am.

Take this wicked thought to bed with you my pretties, just what if your strength and will is enough to get you exactly where you want to be in this life. What if you don’t need anything but a broader perspective and a reason to thrive? Never stop smiling; never stop finding the little things that make the MOMENT worth it, like the cup of hot tea in the morning or the fact that there is a vegan restaurant right across the street from the burger place you want to detox from is located.
