I haven't written in a while but lots of things have been happening. As our economy tries to come back from a recession. Many companies are doing things to help rebuild. Such as mine, it has decided to do what they call a "Spin-off" and create 2 companies vs. one. What does that mean? It means where I worked for 20 years now may be lost because the affiliate I work for will become a franchise. It was a low blow for me when I heard and read about it in our daily newsletters. To think that I worked 20 years for a company and that it's all possibly gone due to a split. It was not a good day for me on 2/15/2011. I Was very confused and my mind told me to do something that I haven't done in a long time. Yup, I opened a coke can and drank it. (I know you probably thought I was going to drink , nope) What was funny is I did miss the whole thing of drinking soda but I immediately made me a cinnamon tea to regulate my sugar levels and drank it shortly after the coke. It was the only thing I thought about doing when this happened to me.
That same day I went to visit my acupuncturist Dr. O'Shaughnessy and I told her about my day and what had happened. She even asked me "Did you eat something bad?" and I said yes. She was like , "What was it?" (she had that "OMG What did you eat look") I told her "I drank a Coke." She was like "That's it? I thought you would of eaten some Chocolate Cake or something." I told her no and also told her how I drank Cinnamon tea afterwards to reverse the blood sugar. She laughed and began to give me treatment. She did some *cupping, and acupuncture to help me with grief and some other stress relieving pins to help me through the week. As I laid there with the cupping I wondered how is it that if I go to my regular doctor they really wouldn't give me or do anything to help me with my grief. Maybe give me a pill to sleep or relax. I come to a acupuncturist and they try to help me relax and relief me from whatever ails me. It's crazy but I feel grateful to have met this Doctor that cares about keeping me "in balance" and not so much in pushing me to take pills. She even gave me some "Detox" soup that she is making that is all natural and helps clean the blood, your insides and cleans you out. She has this whole set of soups that helps all the body systems. She has them for your metabolism, adrenal glands, blood, colds, skin, etc. All from veggies that we buy at the store and by having the right combination you can cleanse and let your body heal itself. It's crazy but I love what she offers. I left happy, relieved and revived from my difficult day.
Yesterday morning I missed a call from my mother. My mother never calls and I was very scared of what I was going to hear. When I called her, she told me my 12 year old dog Lucky passed away around 3am. I was very sad, but at the same time relieved that he wouldn't be suffering anymore from the Cushing's disease he had. I told my husband and before I went to work I rushed to my parents to see my doggie that I brought home 12 years ago and pay my last respects to him. He was a sweet dog and I loved him very much. As I left to go to work I said to myself Day 2, another day of grief. This time when I went to work I didn't drink any soda, I did my daily routine and had no urge to eat anything sweet. It's funny cuz I wonder if it was the acupuncture? Was it my own body telling me, you don't need that sugar? Who knows but honestly I'm happy to feel like my body is finally realizing that I don't need to eat sugar to suffice my grievances. I just need some time, and maybe a few moments to cry and realize that life goes on. Don't eat your sorrows away. I made it through by writing a note on Facebook about my dog and let it all go. It was nice to see all the comments from people giving me condolences and advice. I got through it and I was able to let go my sadness and move forward.
I guess if we sit and think about it what's the purpose of eating a whole pint of Ice cream when we are sad, lonely, or grieving? What does it give you? Happiness? To me it would give me a belly ache.
Till the next time. Thanks for reading.
