I treated myself to an outing yesterday. It was beautiful outside. The weather was very tolerable. I thought, “Why not? A Sunday outing is just what I need.” So, off I went. To a little metaphysical shop in Old Town Alexandria, VA as well as other fascinating sites.
It took me two hours to get there utilizing public transportation. I did not mind this at all. As long as I made it there before the shop closed it was all good…and that I did. I spent about an hour browsing their selection of books, stones, incense, and charms. Great energy in that store. I did end up picking up one title, The Witches’ Almanac Issue 31 for the Spring 2012 to Spring 2013.
Some of you might be thinking, “Um, Kionda, I thought you were Catholic. Why are you picking up a Witches’ almanac?” Well, yes, I was raised Catholic. Christened, communed and confirmed. I also accept all other forms of spirituality and worship. I believe that we all are praying/talking/communicating to the same energy no matter what name you call it. My belief. Take it how you want.
My exploring continued. What did I find? A Chipotle! You should have SEEN my face when I saw this place. I’ve been craving it for WEEKS. I proceeded to satisfy my craving immediately. I felt SO much better after devouring my Chicken Fajita Burrito with Brown Rice. Yes, they serve brown rice now. Ask for it next time you stop by for a healthier choice. Very good stuff.
From there it was back to the Metro. I snapped both this shot and the first one of the house of lights with my Android phone. I just love night photography. The lights are always so pretty. So inviting. I’ll need to schedule a night out with just my camera, tripod, and excitement.
A great night last night. It made for great fodder for my Morning Pages. Words just flowed onto the pages of my journal. I was very excited. Then I thought, “It’s only day 2. I’ll fall off eventually. I always do.” Such negativity! I’m right though. Historically, I always do fall off the wagon. Well, I don’t want to write myself off just yet. One day at a time. All I can really say is that I’m doing great NOW. I’m not going to worry about TOMORROW. Maybe that’s my problem. Hmm…food for thought.
So tell me…are you enjoying your NOW or are you worried about your TOMORROW? I’d love to know.
