Life and Vegetables [Day Two Juice Fast]

So it seems as if whenever I have somewhat of a grasp on life, everything turns upside down and the universe just laughs at me. It has proven quite difficult to find the perfect balance between busyness and laziness; either I have so much on my plate and all I want to do is rest or all I'm doing is resting and am anxious to get out into the world. Right now, I'm doing a lot of nothing. However, a thought just occured to me - perhaps I am being granted rest now to prepare for the busyness that is yet to come. All I know is that I want to feel at least a hint of stabilzation, I'm so tired of feeling out of control of it all! I have finally settled down indoors and although summer is coming up, I do not want to go back to living on the streets. It had its fun moments, but many of my comrades have gone on to other states and I would not feel comfortable out there any longer. I am having quite a bit of anxiety when it comes to how I'm going to pay for June's rent and I am adamant that I am returning to Cuba this summer. I just don't know where to go from here. I wish there were more outlets for people in this situation, who want to start their own business or who are willing to work, but lack many skills. I wish there were more people willing to teach different programs and life skills free of charge, but everything nowadays is commodified and it is quite overwhelming. The only skill I have is customer service and after 14 years on that path, I am wanting to change direction, but how? I suppose I'll just let life take its course. There's just so much that I want to do and lack the ability without funding.

On the upside of life, juicing is going very well! This morning I had a smoothie for breakfast which consisted of juicing six strawberries and one apple and then putting the juice in the blender with one banana and two spoonfuls of Greek yogurt. It was the best one that I've had yet and cannot wait to have another smoothie. For lunch I had a juice that consisted of one cucumber and two apples and for dinner I had three carrots, two celery sticks, two tomatoes and what should have been 1/2 of a lime, but I got cheap at the store and bought lime juice. This is not recommended, as the lime juice is from concentrate and contains preservatives, so the juice wasn't actually as healthy as it could have been. But I know for next time.

I will try to post here about all of the juices I make throughout the day and provide Instagram pictures as much as possible. Today I captured breakfast and dinner [pre-juice]. Until the next post... Peace, love & photography.
