I am....

I am a diabetic. Type 1. For the past 23 years. I barely remember life before diabetes. Sometimes it seems like diabetes is the center of my world. Other times, it is just a part of my life; insignificant and small, but always there.

Recently, diabetes has taken that "smaller" role in my life. The lack of blog posts would reflect this. As I thought about this last night I began to thing of all the things I am, other than a diabetic.

I am a daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter.

I am a friend, god-mother, co-worker.

I am a Christian.

I am a teacher.

I am a reader, a writer.

I am a knitter, a scrapbooker.

I am a computer junkie.

I am a musical lover.

I am a music lover.

I am a lousy housekeeper.

I am a photographer.

I am a cake decorator.

I am dramatic.

I am crazy.

I am shy and out-going.

I am stubborn.

I am a lover of theater.

I am a dreamer.

I am so many things, other than a diabetic. Yet diabetes is part of everything that I am.
