Dealing with things

Hello everyone!

Today my blog is me airing the fact that I'm diabetic. I have all sorts of feelings going through
my mind regarding this diagnosis. Some fear, anger, and but most of all I think I'm starting
to come to the realization that I'm human and the Lord made me this way. Instead of asking why me?
I should consider -- why not me?!

Yes, there are some changes that are all ready in the works. Like diet, making time for exercise, and
having to prick my fingers twice a day, and focusing on the number on the glucometer. But I'm learning
to treat me, myself, and I like I should have been treating myself all along. Take time to breathe, relax, and concentrate on how my body feels.

It all started with a health screening at work, which my hubby and I have done for the past two
years, it's always come back OK. Until this time, my blood sugar was 329, my Hgb A1C 11.5
my Chol, Tryglycerides, HDL, and LDL ALL out of whack! So, with the readings, I was supposed
to meet online with a health coach. This was rather kind of neat, it was like skyp? --we could see each
other via our computers, and talk about my routines, and my goals. And, she highly suggested that me
an RN, health care provider, but also human being, go see a doctor regarding my blood sugars. UGH!

SO, I did-and much to my surprise, my doctor was very supportive and listened to me & my husband.
He looked at my lab results and the log of blood sugars that I had been keeping over the past 6 weeks.
So he thinks that for now, we can control it with diet & exercise, and just watch the labs every 6 weeks.
So, I had the Hgb A1C redrawn along with a lipid panel. And, I'm happy to report that everything is
decreasing, albeit some of it not as quickly as I would like, but it is decreasing!

So,  It is with much satisfaction, that I sign off as--

IT, CAUSE I THINK I LIKE IT!!!

Fall is in the air and with the start of a new season, I'm thinking up all kinds of creations for the 2012

"Wildflowers" I've grown! 

It's Not Easy Being An Original

‎"True originality is being yourself and believing in yourself, without comparing yourself with the rest of the world. Everyone can use this simple instrument, and the blogosphere is really a place where you can find self-confidence."~Irene Berni, Artful Blogging Autumn 2012 


I love this quote! My husband says you can't patent art. And he's right! (this time! :0) ) Sometimes, of late, I've been the target of HURTFUL things that others say about my art, that I've COPIED and been COPIED, :0( BUT, if you follow your own dream, how can you COPY art?! 


I do my own thing, live my own life, dream my own dreams. "It is what it is" 


True originality is not worrying about what others think, say or do. (all be it, spiteful, at times)


Everyone given the same opportunity, will handle it in a different way.


As Kermit the frog sings, It's not easy being green, well my version is - 
It's Not Easy Being An Original


Blogging is much the same way, I've found I can write from the heart, which is original, and
not worry about it being copied. And why would ME, MYSELF, & I want to copy anyone else's blog?!
I want to be ME, MYSELF, & I, no one else.


I want to put my original twist on my creations for Wildflower Jewels! 
MY stamp of approval!


Whew!, thanks for letting me vent!!!


Take care, I'm off TO BE AN ORIGINAL!!!!

INSPIRATION/IT'S HOT!!!

OMG!!! It's supposed to be 106 today, and 111 tomorrow?! It's like you could cut the air today with a knife. When the air is too thick to breathe, that's when I say STAY INSIDE & CREATE!!!

                                                    

Last night the Junk Gypsies were on HGTV, and I browsed Pinterest, and followed the gypsy, turn junk into new, antique "repins" & "likes"- I love the colors, and vintage flair. Magnolia Pearl, Paris Rags, just to name a few, all provide me with carefree, whatever floats your boat, inspiration.

Inspiration is anywhere & anything!

Wildflowers are not created equal!

Stay cool! :0)
