[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 670871, member: 22572"] @ Mike D Thank you for your kind comments and generous praise. This thread is my personal therapy session. My way of working through, rationalizing and finally coping with situations, just like I did today in discussing the luck of enthusiasm I have been feeling over the last couple of days. If by sharing it, I am helping others cope as well, then I am pleased. I do not hold myself out to be extraordinary in any way, not as a person and not as a diabetes sufferer. In the context, this ordinariness is a strength. As you so rightly state, if I can manage to control and live with my diabetes, there is absolutely no reason why you or anyone else can not do so as well. All it takes is a little self discipline and perseverance. And there is no reason why all our lives, even with this condition of ours, can not be as full and satisfying as the next person's. If anything, with the heightened awareness of our one mortality brought on by the diabetes, we should be even better equipped to appreciate life's many simple joys. Pavlos [/QUOTE]
