Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition.  I first met the word in high school, a mouthful for a painfully shy, introspective teenager.  I didn't know in which context I would try to roll the word around my mouth, fit it between teeth and tongue, and spit it out with pizzazz! How about it as  a declaration? Or would it come forth as a question? An interjection?

Finally, I reconciled to "juxtaposed."  Now years later, like a magnetic puzzle piece, it clicked.  This after praying for wisdom, at the same time I practiced unwise behavior.  (Got to remember the trigger).  In my perpetual quest for balance, I typically overdo it, whatever "it" is.

I remember hearing that unpasteurized apple cider vinegar regulates blood sugar levels.  So I bought the biggest jar on the shelf, scrupulously (I thought) followed directions, and ended up virtually overdosing! I didn't recognize the potential danger until I got scary, even eerie ,physical reactions.  Really scary.  Scary enough for me to "Dr Google" it.

The good thing is that I stopped.  Cold turkey.  End of overdoing it, I guess, until the next time!
