So,what to write about today..? Today I have been having a variety of thoughts and feelings. I have been spending a lot of time examining my life and I have been mulling over lots of things. I have some important things coming up and in looking back on the year, I feel I have done a lot of growing. I can literally feel myself changing and molding into a different and stronger person and adult each day. Recently, I have written about some of my latest experiences both professionally and personally. I have discussed such things as the book I am reading, an upcoming potential career change, and a few personal spiritual adventures I've taken. Each day I try to be happy and I try to reflect on the days events and how they affect me and my (diabetic) life.

I am still reading Eckart Tolle's, "A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose". If you haven't heard me or anyone else discuss this book, then I strongly suggest, at the very least, you look into it. I first learned of the book after running into an advertisement online. After checking it out, I discovered Oprah had endorsed it for her book club. I find the book to be extremely interesting and I am fascinated at the depth at which Tolle speaks of the human ego and his knowledge of how our minds work. I have a feeling this book will only continue to rise in popularity and I think it even has the potential to become very historic and change a lot of people. This book has also become very helpful to me because of my professional decision to transition into a new career.

I have my third (and hopeful final) interview this week with a company very near and dear to me (and I am not just saying that because someone with the company might read this :). I have yet to release the name of the company with whom I'm applying with. But hopefully sometime soon I'll have some good news that I can share with you.

In the mean time, I have been taking very good care of myself and controlling my diabetes well. My current regime of 8 units of Lantus in the morning and 8 in the evening, supplemented with Novolog shots, has been really good. I continue to see quality blood sugars and I am still maintaining a very active lifestyle. One of the things I have come to appreciate more lately is listening to meditative type music while I train. I know that may sound kind of funny but maybe you have had similar experiences. I find that even during very high intensity exercise sessions, spiritual music has a calming and healing effect on my mind and it keeps me very focused on the task at hand. If my mind is strong than so is my body and everything else that I do.

As always, thanks for reading my blog today. -Andy
