It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here.
I’m busy these days. Our lives here in Bellingham are unfolding in wonderful ways. And honestly, diabetes has mostly been on the periphery lately. We’re enjoying the summer weather with its cool pacific breezes and tolerating the odd hot day. We’ve had visitors and we’re having more in September. I’ve been learning a new way of painting. Days pass, and I don’t think much about diabetes. I do what I have to do, and move on.
But diabetes is still there. It’s there. No matter what. One day a few weeks ago I woke up and realized it’s been my constant companion for the last 6 years. And that felt really sad.

SO good to hear from you. I totally understand busy. Six years is a long time. Lots of learning, lots of surviving.

It’s good know that you’re both doing well. I agree with Scott, six years is a big milestone.
I hope we get to see some examples of your new painting approach at some stage. Enjoy the rest of summer.
