Snow!

Today is the first snow of the season.  As much as I complain about the cold and snow, it does loo pretty.  My kids were so excited that we actually saw accumulation on the sidewalks.  It was hilarious to watch my teenage daughter run outside and start making snowballs.  They weren't very big, but she couldn't hold back her excitement.  She reminded me of a small child in her excitement. 

Today is also a day for NaBloPoMo excitement!  It is the last day and I won.  Like my teenager running out into the snow, I also have that child-like excitement.  Some days I really wanted to go to bed, but I was motivated to keep going.  I had a goal and wanted to follow through.

That's also how I feel about managing my diabetes.  Some days I want to ignore it, but my husband and children motivated me to keep going.  My goal for diabetes is to stay healthy for my family.  Isn't it amazing how a topic can start with snow and find it's way to diabetes?
