Wow, I can’t believe that it is already November 10 and World Diabetes Day is just a few days away. Why does it seem like every year WDD just sneaks up on me and I haven’t done half of the things that I wanted to do for it. One thing that I wanted to do for the month of November was to post every single day and continue to try and spread awareness of diabetes and how you can live a normal, happy, positive life with diabetes. It is hard at times to pull others in the community together to celebrate World Diabetes Day, and we all are making decisions to honor this day our own way.
I have decided that I am going to spend my day a little different. I believe that I present my voice and my opinion and advocacy for diabetes pretty much everyday. So I’ve decided that I am going to relax on this day and celebrate with my loved ones with the disease that I have. I support all the different activities that are going on and would love to participate in a lot of them, but this year it is just going to be a time of reflecting the good things that diabetes has brought me in my life. Basically, I would have never moved to Florida if it wasn’t for diabetes and I wouldn’t have ever met my future wife for that matter.
What are you doing in your area for WDD?
