What ISN'T Broken?

Every once in awhile I have a day where I'm just mad.  Mad that I have to check blood sugar, mad that I have diabetes, mad that I can't eat a piece of cake and not stress about it.... just keep the list going.  The last few days I have been stuck in this mindset.  I want to shake it off and be happy, I really do.  It just seems like I can't get anything to go my way.

Yesterday I got my blood work back and aparently my thyroid isn't working properly.  GREAT!  I'll go ahead and put that on the list (see, I told you I was angry).  On top of that my husband's car broke down (again!).  It seems like Diabetes makes everything amplified.  It can be easy to become discouraged and angry but I have to remember this is just a season. 

Anyone struggling with a chronic illness can attest to the fact that happiness is a choice.  Contentment is a choice.  Yep, things haven't been perfect and times have been hard but I'm going to choose to be greatful.  I have a great family, supportive friends and I live in a time where medical advances are happening every day.  No matter what you're facing, choose to be positive.  It's going to be ok.  And in the mean time, for inspiration, I'll be reinacting the following youtube video.  Happy Tuesday, everyone!
