Yes, I know that I can do better, but I also know that I could do worse. I'd like to do better at my own diabetes management. I'd also like to do more in the world of diabetes blogging and patient advocacy. I actually told my husband today that part of me would like to be a full-time advocate and part-time educator, maybe a tutor. However at this time my calling is to be a full-time educator and part-time advocate. We agreed that some day the roles may become reversed, when it's the right time.
"Diabetes Ramblings" - it's more than a blog title. It's how I process my thoughts and feelings. As I ramble, I am able to express myself in a way that helps me through some tough times. My hope is that I am able to also reach out and help others. There is no shame in admitting that you need help. If life seems to be dragging you down and you're not living the life you want to live, reach out. Find someone you trust - a doctor, a friend, clergy, a counselor. There is no shame in saying that you can't do it all. You don't need to be a super hero. You are loved and you are valued!
Sue,
ReplyDeleteI believe we do the best we can at the time we can. I also have difficulty at times and I find that something a therapist once told me helps me out.
She said, "remember this will also pass, it always has and it always will". I know it seems simple but it is the most true statement I have ever heard. It is my mantra.

My opinion is that you don't have to try so hard to be super. You are a super friend, a super advocate and a super person just as you are. I'm so thankful to know you!! Please take some time just to be super to yourself.
