Tommorrow is My Diaversary!!

Taken one Indian Summer day, right before I was diagnosed~

Tomorrow (Halloween) I will celebrate 32 years of Diabetes goodness.

I don’t know quite what the day will bring, but you can bet that some form of chocolate and or cupcakey deliciousness will come into play.

I will celebrate with joy.

Yes you heard me, JOY.

Joy that I’m alive and well.

Joy that life did indeed go on.

Joy that much like the little girl from long ago, I continue to learn and still laugh loudly and from my belly.

And I will rejoice in the fact that I make others laugh and learn

as well.

I will celebrate that I am still silly, sensitive, and serious.

I will celebrate every blood sugar- the good ones and the not so good.

I will celebrate every bump in the road traveled, and cherish everyone one I’ve met- including YOU.

I will wave my Diabetes Flag HIGH and hope that you will join me and do the same!

I will relish who I am, who I was, and what I’ve become.

The good, the bad, and the Diabetesaliciousness of of it all~

And I will continue to grasp at the golden rings at this thing called life.

The one thing I will not do is mourn the little girl whose pancreas broke and whose life changed forever that Halloween long ago.

Mourning is for the dead, and I am the girl who not only lived, but has become a woman who continues to do so every day.
