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.

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.

As I type this, I am in a very humbled and still space. My mind is at ease and peace with all that is in my life right now, the only time there is. I’m sitting outside in the warm Florida night air. The sounds of the crickets by the water nearby is heavenly, their song a familiar and calming chorus. The air is pure and clean and healthy to breathe deep into my lungs. I sit here by a candle I have lit and I work from its light. Other beautiful sounds are mixed into the night’s choir like the distant rumbling of a jet-engine in the beautiful moon-light-filled sky. The random ticking of various animals and nature keeps me in this meditative state. It’s so beautiful. Life is precious and I am so thankful for each moment that I have here.

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.
