(high 7's, not too bad!) <br /><br />From an emotional and stress perspective though, we have never been so "free" of the constant need to be always poking and chasing numbers. It just is what it is lately, so the sun surely seems brighter and more beautiful just because I've been able to let go........<br /><br />Great post Meri, as always! I hope 2012 blesses you and yours with health, happiness and the warmth of the brighter, warmer sun!

I don't know-I think I try to keep it in the back seat all the time. I just can't let it rule my life, we have more fun things to do. I do the best I can, when I can.<br />No stress, Meri. You do an amazing job, and we all need a mental vacation now and then. : ) Thinking of you!!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864147601205439993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-90594424028477415622011-12-30T06:35:44.334-08:002011-12-30T06:35:44.334-08:00I wonder that too...

You help me get focused, you help me take the reins back a little, and try. It is good for me to see you guys put the big D in the back seat too... that I'm not completely negligent by doing so! :)Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294992764413873561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-30328277238732934832011-12-29T17:27:35.507-08:002011-12-29T17:27:35.507-08:00I wonder if my 'not feeling' is really ...I wonder if my 'not feeling' is really 'pushing the reality as far down as I can.'<br />Thank you for making me think...haven't been for a while.Denise aka Mom of Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726979027850619807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-79174341396967068852011-12-29T11:45:28.441-08:002011-12-29T11:45:28.441-08:00I seem to somewhat be in the same boat these last ...I seem to somewhat be in the same boat these last few days Meri. Maybe it's acceptance? In a way I like it and in another way, I don't. And honestly, like you, I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. The numbers, the highs, the lows will always be there. They won't change, so maybe it's good thing that we change...Mike LeBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925417435582338888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-81944864170517462792011-12-29T10:35:51.636-08:002011-12-29T10:35:51.636-08:00I'm right there with you, Meri.

Part of it I think is that I have a new focus with our gluten free journey - new things to learn... But I also think that I just NEED diabetes to be less obtrusive right now. Maybe it will stay that way? Who knows.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096733957672343933noreply@blogger.com
