Lately, because of everything that’s been going on in the rest of my life, diabetes seems to have taken a back seat. Or, more of a back seat compared to how active I’ve been over the past few years. I’ve been lamenting that for a while, for two reasons: One, I’ve found that I have a passion for diabetes advocacy; and Two, I feel like I haven’t been paying enough attention to my own health lately.
So when I was cleaning up around the house this weekend and I came across this bracelet, I decided to give it another fling. It says: ACT ON DIABETES.NOW.
For me, it means Acting On Diabetes in two directions: Outward, and Internally too. Maybe hanging this on my wrist for a few weeks will get me refocused on what I do well, and most of all, what is important. I’m not unhappy with me… I’m just looking to be a little more energetic when it comes to taking care of myself, and helping others where I can.
If a blue bracelet can help me do that, then okay. I’m all for motivational symbols. What motivates you?

You know during the airplane safety speech, they tell you to fasten your own air mask before attempting to help others. Yup, that!! Take care of you first, my friend!! 🙂
