Reflections #1

I've had this book for years and it just recently made its way to my nightstand and ultimately as my first choice for bedtime reading. Many of you may have heard of it, or already have it. It's called Medications on Diabetes: Strengthening your Spirit in Every Season, by Catherine Feste.

I figured I'd share some of my family quotes and thoughts from this book, since it's inspiring me to consider my mental and spiritual side of being diabetic (or a PWD).

People would consider me an optimist, I've been accused of such many a time. There's nothing in my life that requires a good attitude more than diabetes. If anything can get you down about life it's a disease that demands constant attention and sacrifice! This is a great quote to remind us that our attitude is critically important to our success:

"No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new heaven to the human spirit." - Helen Keller
