I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. And I’ll walk at least 3 miles, take my fiber supplement and drink 2 liters of water.

[ Here's what I was talking about yesterday, for me Saturday's are weird.  And always weird in the different ways.  Maybe it's because I stayed up so late unwinding from the excitement of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies - or maybe it's because I'm just lazy but, I slept REALLY late today. ]

Drawing a Line in the Sand

I want to take today to say that a week ago I was feeling a mental edginess that always means that I’m on the wrong track.  I’d been feeling it for a while but, last Saturday it felt a little more urgent.  Like something was saying LISTEN to me — I’m not going to keep bugging you forever.

And I know THAT warning was serious.  Because there have been times in my life where I let the moment pass and the next thing I know, a decade has passed. That warning was real — As a 10+ years diabetic in my mid-fifties, I don’t HAVE a decade to play around.

Today feels totally different. Rather than letting that moment drift past me I renovated this blog.  I spent time considering how it should look – What it should be able to do – it (the underlying code) should work. I actually dreamt about it.

And I invited my friends to share it with me. Together we’ve talked and walked and counseled and consoled.  We’re already making progress!

Oh — and that mental edginess? It’s totally gone.

Thank you for coming – for sharing your situations and goals . . . for drawing a line in the sand with me.
