At 10:13pm on November 3, 2008, Eve said…: Thank you.

At 9:40pm on October 26, 2008, Eve said…: All my thoughts and energies are pretty well taken up by my daughter and her family right now. Her husband has decided she's not the woman for him and he wants a divorce. With four little children and no marketable job skills that leaves her in a bad place. (Not to mention the emotional turmoil of learning that what you thought was a good, happy marriage is a trial for your husband.) I continue to try and get my blood sugars under control and deal with the occasional flare-up of pancreatitis. I've learned to take each day as it comes, make only tentative plans for the future, and be grateful for the good times.

At 8:01am on October 13, 2008, Eve said…: Lori - are you OK? Haven't heard from you for quite a while. Let us know how you're doing.

At 6:00pm on May 24, 2008, Diana Young, RD, LD/N, CDE said…: Tag, you're it.

At 8:21am on May 21, 2008, Diana Young, RD, LD/N, CDE said…: All you have to do is tell what you think about the book and then I'll send you a link to add to the post so people can purchase it or even better you can set up an affilitate account with amazon, that way you can use your own link and make money reviewing books. I'll send you more info later about this. I have to run for now. Take care.

At 1:04pm on May 13, 2008, Diana Young, RD, LD/N, CDE said…: What books do you have about health, diet or fitness that are laying around the house?

At 12:25pm on March 11, 2008, Eve said…: Thank you!

At 10:57am on February 27, 2008, Eve said…: You're very welcome. I've found that getting out of myself, reaching out to help someone else, is the best therapy for me. And I simply enjoy other people. I don't get out much, so my friends are all online.

It has been 8 months since I have posted on Iowa Avenue. My life is going well and I am happy to say that I am healthier than I have been in some time. I am eating better and exercising frequently. I have lost about 20 lbs since I 1st started with Iowa Avenue. I have only 20 lbs to go to get to my goal. I am positive I will reach that goal in a reasonable amount of time.

I think the biggest change in myself is that I really put forth the effort to achieve health. I want it more now then ever. I… Continue

It has been a while

It is hard to believe it has been 2 months since I have posted. I started a new job a month ago and have been quite preoccupied with that. This is the other job I was offered when I 1st moved to Fort Wayne in February. The job is going well and I am sure it will be good for me. I am happy.

One of the main things that has changed for me is that I am working hard on living in the moment and in accepting myself for who I am right now. I am doing pretty well. I am actually too tired to write any mo… Continue

Please read - you will be glad you did !!!!

Tonight shortly before I was to leave work one of our drivers broke down. It was a simple fix but the driver would be held up for hours waiting on a service truck so I offered to go to a truck stop, get what he needed and take it to him. Sounds easy doesn't it? It should have been but I still don't know my way around Ft Wayne very well. I found the truck stop easily enough. I told the guy at the counter exactly what I needed and he pointed it out and before you knew it I was on my way to the dri… Continue

Iowa Avenue - the place where my friends are

I so appreciate the comments to my last blog. I am so grateful for the friends I have made in this community. I do wish all of you lived near me. But since you don't, I will continue to enjoy our friendships here.
I do realize that I am making progress in my journey. I truly do believe that life will get better and I won't always feel this way. It is very beneficial for me to write honestly here - to share who I am. I go through periods in which I don't want to blog - that I just want to fold my… Continue

Who I Am - continued

The psychiatrist told me that I was one of the worst cases he had seen. I got out of the hospital and started outpatient treatment. I was in a group and for the 1st and only time in my life my shell began to crack. But, my insurance said I had reached my limit and so treatment last only a few more weeks.
My point is that I have lived for my children. I am not alive because of my will to live - but for my children. I have spent my life living for them. Now alone I am trying to figure out how to l… Continue
