Yeah, most of the time I do but I don't really remember my life much before diabetes. Granted, I was 13 when diagnosed but it just seems like so long ago. We all have our bad days. We come here to vent about them. Vent here anytime b/c chances are I or someone else have been through it and felt the same way. Hang in there GregGolden.

| | Bright Side of Life by Eric Idle Quote:
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...
Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistle]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistle]
Life's a piece of ****,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistle]
Repeat to fade...

But, It is a lot happier of a situation if you just say ok, I've got it, it's not going away, So, guess I have to live with it.
Look on the bright side of your life! Jackie Boy plays that on his piano in as good as it gets. I love that show

Yep, that's prolly his best movie.
This doesn't mean that I don't get down and depressed about all this too, it just means that I try and cope as best I can.------------Some days, weeks, months, years are better than others.----------I try and take the view, "What's your lifetime batting average when it comes to attitude?"

I look at it the way Phrank said it. "Diabetes is just a big chemistry experiment." I'm getting better the more I experiment. I try to take the "this is deadly serious" part out of the equasion. If I'm off one day, I compensate and remember it for the next time.

It doesn't take much for me to look around and see someone much worse off than I am. I am in the midst of depression and can't seem to bring my blood sugars down, so I do a lot of looking around.
It's time to change my signature. Can I quote you rzrbks with the above quote. Is that yours or did you borrow it, too?
