Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I would like to personally thank all of the members who have responded to those in need over the past few days. I know for myself, whenever I start feeling frustrated over the day I'm having, I inevitably read a post that makes me realize that it's not so bad. Also helps me to keep focused on the issues that do matter-concerning diabetes and all of its complications-and to not be so concerned with less important matters. Again, thanks to all for sharing your experiences to those in need. I do believe what goes around comes around-you give-you receive-and we all know we have those moments where we need. Peace, Grace and Blessings to all, Jamez ADI Moderator sanborn51@... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/alldiabeticinternational/ Opinions expressed are solely my opinion and should not be mistaken for professional medical advice.
