So with Diabetes you have choices- never let anyone tell you that you don’t. And by choice I mean attitude, and by attitude, I mean a good one or a not so great one. You can choose to be mad, which means that you’ll spend all your time being a major downer, and your blood suga...

Hey K2, As always, you've nailed it. I think we all have our moments of being mad, sad or jealous of everyone else. But, it's the fact that we can come back to 'center' that keeps us going.

Thanks again for articulating what some of us wish we could.

Babs-

Traci-

THANK-YOU SO MUCH! And thanks for reminding me as of late to stay true to myself.

Even if "myself" has a bit of a salty side!
