Tea is the great equalizer when breaking the fast.
Wish I had realized that when it was time to eat tonight. I was so caught up in my desire to eat that I wolfed down some pasta, water and juice. The resulting feeling was less than pleasant.
Now, If I had tea first, it most likely would have helped my stomach and created a better eating experience. Something to remember for tomorrow night I guess.
A monster headache this afternoon had me thinking about what it would mean to have some water or a painkiller to ease the pain. I guess at some point a person has to know their limits but I had the opportunity to lay down and nap and I did that rather than take water.
It's an interesting experience being a Baha'i. There is no clergy. This means I have my own relationship with God, nature or a higher power, or whatever you want to call it. It falls on me to follow the principles and laws of the Baha'i Faith. For an addictive personality like me, that is a serious challenge.
I'm grateful though, some of the Baha'i laws have protected me from myself. It's a funny thing but having boundaries has, at times, freed me from my addictive nature. It's good to realize that.
This is pretty much how I felt today. Rather a serious look, but take a close look at my eyebrows, they have a mind of their own I guess. Would be kind of sweet to express emotions with those guys. Changes the dynamics a wee bit don't you think?
