Wow, what a storm that was started recently on my co-bloggers page. I have the utmost respect for you Michelle and your passion, writing ability, your life and even your disgust with diabetes when you wrote that blog. Please know this. I HAVE WRITTEN these types in the past too (when I was off). But you, and all the people that commented on your blog who, too, agree’d with your sentiment of “hating diabetes”, could not have proved a point with any clearer of an example of how out of touch we get with ourselves and life from time to time. This is ok, this is normal. It happens. But what you do with it when your faced with it, is what makes the difference and what can take you from a life of peace, or heaven, and true existence - to a place of hell, or unbalance, or non-peace.

A friend of mine has just found a new endo and is loving it. I'm very excited for her because I know how much trouble she went through with her last endo. I remember telling her the difference between her reluctant-to-listen-to-the-patient doctor and Dr. C: "After having never spoken to Dr. C about Symlin before, I came into his office for a regular check up, said I wanted to try Symlin and 15 minutes later the nurse was hooking me up with a sample pen."

While I had a lot of freedom when I spoke with Dr. C, I have often wondered how much latitude he gave me because he knew how involved I am in the diabetes community, knew that I was up on the latest information and technology, and was proactive. I was sad to leave him behind. (Maybe there's a little too much ego there, but I really got very little resistance from Dr. C about anything.)

I got laid off last week.

I got a call from my (now former) boss, whom I love, care, and have deep respect for very much, on Tuesday. Her mood and energy were off. I could tell she was under a lot of (mind-made) stress. I was told that I would need to call in for a phone meeting with some of the higher-ups and board members in the organization. My mind and thoughts began to wonder, like everyone's does, when you get that feeling
inside. That feeling where you just KNOW something is off.

Today: Today I watched a few eye-opening documentaries. The first one I watched is called, "Bigger, Faster, Stronger". Bigger, Faster, Stronger is about how American society has become so obsessed with being just like the title says. It talks about steroid use and gives a unique perspective into the lives of the many different people who use them or who have used them.

I liked it because I could relate it to what I have been reading about from Eckhart Tolle.

Insulin is time in a bottle.

When I think about the very small amount of clear liquid that keeps me healthy and alive, I'm sometimes astounded.  That teeny tiny amount of insulin is another day to make a difference, another day to feel the sun on my face, another day to spend with the people I love, another day to make the most of it.  When I'm frustrated and sad, I remember that.  On occasion, I'll draw a few of those funky smelling drops into a syringe, letting it fill my senses and really remind me of the power those teeny droplets have.
