again...

i know i say this every six to eight months but i really am going to try and write on here more.  so lets catch up!!!

well since i last wrote on here my ankle is doing better, my blood sugar is finally, after 11 years, under my control, the best it can be anyway. i am living in nashville and i am starting a non profit organization called it takes two to help kids. i know that is kind of vague but i will get into that more later.

so, it has been 11 years since being diagnosed and for the very first time i feel like i may be handling things with ease.  i think what i had to realize is that taking one day at a time and living that day the best way you know how is all you can really do. i guess that can be applied to many different aspects of life.  the way i feel now is that i have one life and everyday that i live it not to its fullest is such a waste.  yes, i still struggle with diabetes and yes i still sometimes have bad days. i think now though i realize that its just one day. 24 hours. not forever.  i also think i had to realize that the time i have left in this life is not guarenteed. i don't want to give up any second to anything that isn't making me happy. example, strawberry cupcakes.  i really don't know why but just the thought of strawberry cupcakes makes me happy!!

well that is gonna be it for today. short and sweet but i promise promise promise i am going to take a little time each day to write. not that anyone every reads this but i guess that was a promise to myself more than anything :)
