I have found some cool programs for the palm pilots to track
BS/Meds/Carbs. Email me at jogonowski@… and I will send
you the info.
Also I just want to say Diabetes sucks. I hate it. I have had it
since last year. I think the stress in my life makes it worse.
Have you also seen the Glucowatch. It’s cool. I will get the link
for that too when you email me.

LIFE
Life isn’t about keeping score.
It’s about whom you love and whom you hurt.
It’s about whom you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It’s about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It’s about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
It’s about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.
It’s about whom you’ve ignored with full control and intention.
It’s about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It’s about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it.
But most of all,
Life is about using your life to touch or poison other
people’s hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected,

You Must Keep Going
Sometimes you must keep going.
Life punches you in the stomach.
It knocks your breath out and leaves you bowed and gasping.
You lose a job. . . you must keep going.
You find out you have a serious illness. . .you must keep going.
You have a headache. . . you must keep going.
Sometimes the things in life are not serious but they affect you nevertheless. .
. you must keep going.
You have a big argument with your spouse.
Neither of you feels like talking and maybe not even looking at each other. . .
you must keep going.
Your son rebels and you have a blowout with him. . .
you must keep going.
The bills seem to never end and the money seems to never start.

I stop waiting for things to be easier or time to move more slowly to do the
inner work that calls to me; I begin now, letting the intelligence and wisdom of
spirit guide me. I forgive what needs to be forgiven without delay. I let go of
my past, welcome the future, and embrace the present. I get my actions into
alignment with what I know to be the right and appropriate path for me. I stand
in my integrity and get busy! And the results of this inner and outer work is a
life filled to overflowing with blessings of every kind imaginable.
There’s nothing that can stop the process of my spiritual evolution but my own
dragging feet. I gladly do the work that’s mine to do, and I do it knowing that
it only leads me to absolute, abundant, eternal joy. And so it is.

To get into rhythm with life you have to learn the art of being
still, for the more still you become, the more clearly can you
reflect the qualities of your soul. How easy it is to blame your
environment, your situation or your conditions for the state you are
in! It is high time you ceased doing it and realized that you have
only yourself to blame.
When you seek and find that inner peace and stillness, nothing and
no one without will be able to disturb it or throw you off balance.
Look around you; look at the beauty and perfection of nature.
Everything in nature is in rhythm.
There is perfect law and order in My universe. Nothing is out of
tune; there is a time and reason for everything. It is there for
all souls to see and to partake of, so get into tune with it. Flow
with it, and be part of that law and order in My universe.

Hi all, I hope everyone is doing good.
As for me, I’m feeling pretty down today. I had an appointment with a kidney
specialist today. I’m still trying to make sense of what she told me.
The reason why I went to this specialist was because my creatinine test for the
past few months has been slightly above normal (1.4, 1.7, 1.5, 1.6) and the
tests also show that I have anemia, and no dr seems to be able to figure out
where the anemia is coming from.
She mentioned something about my kidney function being somewhere between 50 -
70%, that’s where I felt a sudden fear, then I started to feel my sugars drop.
The kidney specialist told me that she needed to check how my Erythropoietin
levels were, I had no clue as to what that was. She explained what it meant.
When I got home I pulled out the medical dictionary: Erythropoietin: a hormonal
substance that is formed esp. in the kidney and stimulates red blood cell
formation. I’ve had anemia for 3 years and no one ever told me that the kidneys
may have something to do with it, go figure. At this point I don’t know if the
