Life is stressing the crap out of me right now. Can anyone else out there relate to me? I think it is so funny how one moment your happy enough to run around the room in your underwear and then the next second your contemplating things like your life, your family, and your future. What's up with that!? Maybe it's just me? I don't know? What kind of stress is going on in your life? For me, I am dealing with a career change and a move.

I want to work with kids and people who are living with diabetes, full time. I am sick of thinking about it. I am ready to get out there and work with people directly who are going through the same things that I am. I am ready to feel like I'm making a significant difference in the lives of those people. I have been spending the past week or two ripping away at my resume, cover letter, and my references. I hate that stuff. I wish I didn't have to do it. I realize I have too though; it's just that I'm getting impatient. I think about all the things that I will be doing and it keeps me charged up and heading in the right direction. I am ready to make a change. I am ready to get out there and do whatever it takes to get something done.

I want to inspire children with diabetes to be the best they can and to never let diabetes stand in their way. I want to walk up to kids with diabetes and look them in the eye and say, "HEY!". "I know what your going through, I know what it's like, and I'm here for you!". I am ready to devote my life to working with children and families associated with this freaking disease. I want to be proof, to a kid with diabetes, that they can achieve anything if they set their mind and body to it!

I will make a difference. I am ready to start feeling like I am. I am sick of waiting to find out when it will all begin. I have to start right now. SOON. VERY SOON, I will be working full-time with this thing and I'm going to help knock it the heck out !

Ok. I feel better now that I have said all that. Thank you for humoring me. Please tell me about some of what's frustrating you in your life right now. We all deal with our share of problems and these are just a few of mine.

Sincerely, Andy.
