If?

Slow down, accept what is and realize you can't change everything. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Put down that slice of pizza and go for a walk!!!

This is not really advise. I just hope in 5 years, we have a CURE. Not just insulin and medications to get each of us through the day. Be it Type 1, Type 2, Gestational or Pre-Diabetes, we need a CURE. Good question my friend! Angie

that would be something to celebrate… maybe it will come true… I hope so too… j

Angie, This has been my dream since I first found out I had diabetes 20 years ago!!! I hope I live long enough to see this happen.

do not drink that soda your BS is going to jump up 85 points,other than that just live life in harmany with nature and enjoy life

I would have listened to the people who knew where I was headed. I would have tried harder to be healthier when I was still able. Never give up trying and we all make mistakes, with Gods help another door will open and give me another chance to try and do it right. Where there is life there
is still hope. Thanks Jocelyn for the question.

Don't do so much worrying—these things will be there till the day you die—so why make yourself sick over it. Learn to live with it and start to do things that will make you happy. Laughter is better than medicine sometimes. Thank you Jocelyn.

ha ha ha ha ha,,, laughing with you guys is great… pick me, pick me… ha ha Do any of you remember Erma Bombeck? I loved her sense of humor… If Life is a Bow of Cherries, why do I get the pits?, or something like that… I always got a kick out of Steve Martin's Cruel Shoes too… Folding soup was a hoot…

The year 2014 (looking back 5 years) - Take some extra time for yourself and relax!

2009 - (looking back 5 years) - Never give up, you will beat this thing and if you can't beat it you can learn to live with it and play nice !!

2004 - (looking back 5 years) - Get to the doctor for a checkup before something is wrong!!!

you are so cool…

hey judy i really like that comment about taking time out for ourselves. because thats what i plan to do on my day off from work tommorrow.

sounds like you deserve to do just that too Dez… good for you… tell us how you spent your day of rest if it's any of our business, ha ha… we be interested… having fun is so important…Jocelyn

Pick your battles…

…not your nose!

pick your friends… but not their nose…

You can pick your friends
You can pick your nose
But please don't pick your friends nose! (LOL)…Debe

I really like the idea of making 6 month, 2 year, and 5 year goals. Keeping journals is helpful too in processing your ideas, and exploring your ideals… Imagination is an amazing tool for self development. Our subconscious doesn't know the difference between real and imagined. If we talk, I can't… it believes us. IF we talk, I can… It believes us… That's why having a clear intention gives us the impetus we need to create things… Every invention in our physical/structural world was once in someone's imagination… Visualization is powerful… So now that you have looked back to now from your future… consider what you wish you had said to your past… and unwrap that present by living in the today with intention…It works even better when you get others to do it with you…have fun… and thanks for joining this discussion… I love playfulness. Laughter is the best medicine… yeepeeeee

I think a better question would be if you could go back 5 years today, what advice would you give yourself? For that the advice would be, go to the doctors on a regular basis.

you beat me to it Kdrobert… that was going to be my follow up question… good for you…lol

Don't sweat the small stuff!

This is from Ty n Sheila: Treasure what you have, live more, love more, spend more time with those whom you love, live healthier…yeah I think that covers it. Good question, I love your thought process. Thanks! Sheila
