There are many times I've wanted to give up when things have gotten frustrating. This applies mainly to two parts of my life: diabetes and grad school.
Going back to school 20 yrs after completing my undergrad and adding a husband, five kids, and two jobs into the mix - it's challenging! My house isn't the quiet study place that I often need. I'm not happy to admit that I get frustrated. Sometimes I jump up from my computer and say, "I don't know why I'm doing this. I should just give up now." Oh I don't really mean it. I know deep down that I can do this, but at times it's hard for me to see.
Diabetes is also something I know deep down that I can do. Just like with school, obstacles come up that feel impossible. I want to throw up my hands and say, "I don't know why I'm doing this. I should just give up now." Then I look at my husband and children. Just like with school, I see in their eyes my inspiration to keep going. They are the reason I'm doing this. They are the reason I won't give up. I can fight this monster and win!

You can win, and you can be an inspiration to many of us for even trying.
