The instructions are to pick a first line of a blog entry for each month of 2011. I've taken the liberty of picking a favorite sentence per month instead, but it's the same idea... a walk through the past year before embarking on the new.
In January, I had no blog, so the sentence will be from my head..."My New Year's Resolution is to start a blog."
February: "Um…well…actually, it’s attached to me.
So I don’t think that would work too well, but thank you.”
March: You've got to love those rare moments when diabetes
actually works in your favor!
April: In the long run an educated guess is better than a wild one, and both may be
better than denying someone the joy of chocolate rabbit ears.
May: Sometimes it takes me a while to get the sour taste out of my mouth when
diabetes throws me for a loop, but if I’m able to make lemonade for my daughter,
it’s well worth the effort.
June: If I’d thought about the note I’d have to
send with her and the other preparations involved, I might have decided it was
easier to spend the day in an open field in 95 degree heat.
July: Sadly, there’s no way to make the process
painless or even remotely pleasant.
August: When I stop to think logically about the 250 test strips I've packed for a 14
day trip, I have a hard time envisioning a situation in which we'd consistently
need 17 test strips every day for 2 weeks.
September: This diabetes thing is a really big deal. Please don't make a really big deal
about it.
October: That she recognized these as somewhat bizarre thoughts and took the next step to
grab her glucometer is diabetes management gold.
November: "One word I would give to you and your family is HOPE."
December: I remember cookies being foremost on my mind as the childrens' hospital staff
confirmed the diagnosis of diabetes on that December day.
Happy New Year, and thanks for reading!
