update

So i'm taking care of my boyfriend's son during the week. He's 4 and he is a sweetheart. I  was thinking about how much of a helicopter parent I used to be. In addition to that, I was just uptight about *everything*. peace is good 8D.

My boyfriend and I are doing well. We're focusing on cleaning up our diets and that need is causing us to start a joint blog. I am really excited about that venture.

Work is going well, though I am doing less of it.

My boys are doing really well. They are so wonderful. I really feel so blessed.

We found a church as well that we try to go to as much as possible. So that's exciting as well.

I'm #1, type 1 that is...

So the verdict has come back that I have type 1 diabetes after all of the misdiagnoses, etc. The truth is I don't know if I could have handled it until now. I have a wonderful man in my life and wonderful support and my sons are older... so this is good. i am adhering to the diet better than ever. It's boring but it's a good thing. I miss simple things, but fruit in unlimited quantities is my biggest roadblock. Dear reader, I intend to take you on my journey in my spare time... to a point.

Thanks for joining me!

We can grow from where we are

One thing that I love about meditation and portions of Buddhism is the concept that we can grow from where we are. I have been having trouble mood-wise. I know one could argue that I have a lot going on and I react this way when I'm not feeling well... That's no excuse. I have a tendency to fall back to my regimented self when my life is in turmoil. The wonderful part about this is I can learn to be better. I have such understanding people around me that are patient and supportive. I just expect so much more of myself than the person I am being. The good thing is I can grow from here. That's a beautiful aspect.
