Diabetes: It sounds like such an ugly thing. The sound of the word diabetes makes me think something bad. When you hear the word said you're probably not thinking it is a good thing. DIABETES, I say it out loud to myself and I attempt to analyze it. The first part of the word says "Di" pronounced "die". DIABETES, I say it again. Why are you such an ugly sounding word? Can we rename you "beautiful-abetes"? That sounds a lot better. When you hear "diabetes" your mind instantly associates with bad. But, if our disease name was a word that didn't make you say "di(e)", I bet we wouldn't have as many people feeling sorry for us. How about "liveable-abetes"? I could LIVE with that!

I don't know, maybe a bunch of us could get a petition together to change the name?? I would personally take it to congress to see about getting that done!! (Just some food for thought).

I'm reading a new book now thanks to Oprah and the internet. I was cruising around the other day on MSN and I noticed a headline that caught my attention. It said something like "Oprah's Book Club takes on a new book". So I took it upon myself (I was bored and procrastinating) to check it out and it turned out to be a real eye opener. The book is called, "A NEW EARTH, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" by Eckhart Tolle. I had never heard of this guy so I checked him out a little bit.

This morning I made the decision to stay positive. So often I get caught up in the office drama and find myself jumping on the "bad attitude" band wagon. Not cool at all.

 

So far the day has been good. Each time I hear a complaint or a bad attitude I try to find something to say to brighten things up. It's funny how in almost every situation, you can find some good in it. That silver lining.

I've been reading "Psyching Out Diabetes" off and on. Each chapter is devoted to a different emotion that commonly affects diabetes management. So far, I haven't had an epiphany. But it is nice to hear what some diabetics struggle with in their diabetes growth and how those outside are affected.

 

One of the topics in the "Anger" chapter is about terminology and labels. What is right: diabetic or person with diabetes? The great debate!
