Perspective

I have received lots of positive feedback after yesterday's post with photos.  Thanks to all for the encouragement.  It is certainly a boost to know I have so much support and encouragement out there.

One comment really stuck with me though; it was from an old friend of mine who is now a medical assistant.  She was talking about how taking care of yourself with Diabetes, or really any condition is really about being around for your family and for the future.  She's right.

The Boy jokes with me about his 'ultimate threat' of Grandchildren, but seriously, isn't that what it is all about?  I want to be here for my family, I want the chance to be a wacky old lady, a wonderful Grandma who spoils her grandchildren rotten and makes her son and daughter-in-law nuts.  I want to grow old with my husband, I want to have as many years with him as I can.

I have had people accuse me of being very selfish and focusing on myself lately; but you know what, there is more laughter in our house.  There is more joy and happiness in our home.  Everyone is more relaxed and meals are just plain fun now.  How could that be selfish?
