And am I sure glad to be starting a new week! So despite my optimism, and a pretty good start to the week, I found out on Wednesday that a dear friend of mine had passed away very, very suddenly. The news was absolutely shocking to everyone, we still can't get our heads around it. To think that such a young and lively soul is now no longer with us. Just like that. Its hard to find the words to express the situation.
As much as I hate to admit it, I'm in a rough patch and its hard. Its hard to get up every morning and keep all the wheels turning and the balls in the air. If there were just one lesson I think I'm supposed to take away from this time, is that life is short: its a blessing and a gift, not a given, not a certainty. So more than ever, I am looking to ensure diabetes is number one in my life, and even though this week is focused on Type 2 awareness, it still serves as a reminder to put our health first, be happy, and live fully.
