Hi everyone!!
I haven't posted here for quit a while, I've been under the weather and just haven't felt like posting. I hope to get back on my feet real soon. One thing I have to say is that a lot of us (me included) have taken our good health for granted. Even though I've had diabetes for 49 years (got it when I was 4) I've had a fairly healthy life. I was always on the go, had things to do and places to go. For the past 15 years I've had one health problem after another. So I live my life at a slower pace now. It has opened my eyes and made me realize that things could be worse, it could be so much worse. I've done a lot of thinking these past few years about my life, and each day I thank my HP for what he has given me. I've learned to enjoy life to it's fullest. Oh sure, I've had my problems, who hasn't, but there are people out there who has it worse. I pray for those people. I pray that they find the peace that I've found. Whether it's related to drugs/alcohol, sickness or whatever is making their life sad. My wise Mother always said "Sometimes we all have to find our own rainbow when we are feeling pain." How true is that?
I am so sorry for rambling on but I must tell you about my RAD. (It feels so good to write RAD!!) She is home from rehab and is doing real good. For some of you who don't know, I have temp. custody of her 3 daughters . She is so glad to be home and comes over to see her girls everyday. This is when the real test starts and so far she is doing a wonderful job. She told me that she wants to get her girls back but realizes she must concentrate on herself first. She knows she has to prove to the courts that she is well again and is capable of being a good mother. She said this is something she must prove to herself as well.
Thanks for letting me share but wanted to let all of you know that all is well on the home front.
Love Patti

Welcome back Patti,
You have been missed. I am so happy for you about your RAD. When we spoke you sounded upbeat about her. I'm sure her girls are glad mom is back with them at least part time.
I hope everything else is going fine with your family.

Patti, I'm glad you are starting to feel a little better and so happy that your daughter is working so hard on her recovery. You are a wonderful mom and grandmom to be taking care of the girls so she can work on taking care of herself. And I am glad you are finding time for gratitude and for taking care of you! Hugs and prayers
