I say it, but I don't believe it.
Has diabetes made it difficult to get/renew a driver's license?

It’s been one of those days, the type of day where you just want to get some things off your chest (or mind). I wrote my last blog about television. I said some strong things; I got out some strong feelings. But they were heartfelt at the time, and looking back, I still feel strongly about what I said. TV sucks. It’s not natural. Their are a few things on occasion that are worth watching; sometimes you can catch something on that is educational or good for the soul. TV CAN be used as a good medium, or tool for our health. Sometimes, you see something you connect with or that gets you fired up, but in a good way. Tonight, for example, I watched a documentary on Netflix called, “Mario’s Story.” (READ MORE)

Is it just me...or has anyone else noticed the lack of true sportsmanship in today's sporting events and competitions? That’s kind of what I was thinking today after reflecting on last night’s superbowl. It seems like all I see anymore, when I catch a rare game on TV, are egotists trying to out do one another. Anymore, all I see are fights and bad things taking place on screen. Our kids are watching. We’re watching. And no one truly seems to take offense anymore to the programming that’s on. ( I guess my ego does :)

It dawned on my recently that I completely missed my diagnosis anniversary. It is not like I throw a glucose filled party or anything but I like to recognize "another year, still here" kind of mentality.
But I missed it! I was kind of upset about this since it makes for a good blog post (LOL) but maybe it is not what I was supposed to be thinking about. Diabetes is on my mind constantly and forgetting something like my anniversary is really not that big of a deal.
Not only that but I always feel like it is and it isn't something to shout about. Sure I have made it another year but when I give diabetes all this power and attention it seems like it is getting the best of me in a way. I know some of you will disagree and I would love to hear how your diagnosis anniversaries go for you. (READ MORE)

It might help if you read this when you're mad! Reading this may also cause you great relief! (It did for me). I cried when I wrote it. I laughed hysterically. I also edited out the bad words that I would have normally said, just so kids and mom's could still read it! This one felt great! Oh, and you may want to punch something when your done too. I DID!
