Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Cyndi...I hear what you're saying! I was in shock when I first found out years ago that I was diabetic, but the anger and confusion was followed by a strange calm. I knew I had neglected my health and had to start being more responsible for my own welfare...not just depend on doctors to 'fix' everything for me. My body had been screaming at me for some time, but I had chosen to ignore the cries for help. No more. It was the wake-up call I needed to step up to the plate and do my part. It took some time to get it under control and off medication, but it's been 6 plus years now and I've never been healthier. I'm so glad that I finally started to "listen." Hopefully these lifestyle changes will help prevent future diseases... <smiles> --Celia-- - cyndikrall RealSimple Friday, December 29, 2006 10:31 PM {Spam?} (6) Re: [RealSimple] Hello/WELCOME!!!/Congrats Cyndi! Noelle, I asked all the WHY ME questions, and then realized I had a peace about all this that defies explanation. I JUST KNEW it was part of the journey, part of the wake up call I needed to change my life. I think the universe tells you what you need to pay attention to, we just have to learn how to listen to it. We all have "stuff" to deal with, and the good part is, we don't have to wait for a serious illness or life change in order to find our priorities in life. I look at Steve Irwin's life. He always felt that he would die at an early age, so he made every single day count in his life. He never put off anything that he wanted to do. He had a passion for life that is enviable! Cyndi ..
