K2: You are a "hoot". Would love it if you were one of my patients: I would be laughing all the time and not getting anything done!! (BTW, I am (hopefully), not a member of the Diabetes Police!). Welcome aboard! (I also, have, been known to utter unsavory phrases-but not perhaps, that one!).

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.  I have so much good in my life that I'd rather focus on. . hey, if it wasn't for my D-life, there are quite a few people I wouldn't have ever become acquainted with.
