Hey everyone. December 2012 ... has brought some challenges into my life.

What I'm finding to be quite amazing is that its NOT bringing me down... depression, for the most part, is lurking and has only become full-blown for a day at the most. NO thoughts of suicide... however, there have been some thoughts that make me understand why people, when very tired and sick ... give in and close their eyes.

At the end of November the company I work for lost a huge contract which resulted in my losing a huge portion of my income. I'm resourceful and have managed to keep myself afloat... opportunities and gifts keep coming my way.

Then this month, I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2.

A friend of mine, on Facebook, invites friends to write a Haiku every Friday... this is what I wrote today:

My doctor is watching me closely (no pricking myself) - regular appointments, blood tests, diet and exercise changes and a support group are now on my plate.

Baby steps....

always baby steps.

thanks for being here everyone!
