Lemons and lemonade...


But before I start, I'd like to confess that I am a bit shaken by today's tragedy -I never liked airplanes. So if you're feeling any sort pain for those who were involved and you can't do anything about what happened, make sure you turn off the news and take some time to nurture yourself.

This said, let us head back to the issue at hand... You've probably heard the saying about lemons and lemonade, you know, making the second out the handed first. I presume that we all have. It's in the books, in the tapes, in the cds, and just about anywhere else.

Well, my lemon was a migraine, for which, by the way, some bright doctor thought I should take a strong narcotic, but I'm digressing. At any rate, it was just one of those head colds/sinus infections kind of thing, except for the monster migraine savagely pounding inside my right temple...

Too weeks later, and only a few hours ago, I started thinking about lemons and lemonade, and it was right then that I realized I had somewhat done just that with my lemon -the migraine.

Now, and just to cut to the chase, I'll just tell you what kind of lemonade I was able to make. Drum roll and dramatic pause. I cut off my caffeine consumption. Yes. I turned off the spicket, gradually, and in a matter of days, stopped drinking coffee -meaning lots of sugar, dairy and caffeine, and since I already had a migraine, I didn't really notice the caffeine withdrawal headache.

Is this a good example? I'm not sure. It sure makes me happy... But, I'll let you decide.

Be well, and seek Light even in the heart of darkness -esoterically speaking, of course.
