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.
Jocelyn replied March 24, 2009 4:33 PM you beat me to it Kdrobert... that was going to be my follow up question.... good for you...lol |

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 |

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.
Jocelyn replied March 25, 2009 4:28 AM 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... |

dyanne replied March 25, 2009 5:34 AM 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

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
Jocelyn replied March 25, 2009 8:17 PM that would be something to celebrate... maybe it will come true... I hope so too... j
Splender replied March 26, 2009 2:27 AM 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.

Slow down, accept what is and realize you can't change everything. Don't sweat the small stuff. |
If this was five years in the future and you could come back to today's date and give yourself some advice, what would it be?
