With all the blossoming trees and fresh flowers, spring brings about reflections on life's seasons. Life's sweetness unfolds like the seasons, one flowing into the next, each season rising out of what comes before. Imagine a freshly picked peach, kissed by the August sun. The first bite bursts with rich juice,and the delicious satisfaction after the last morsel.
What does this have to do with diabetes? Diabetes offers us a reminder to slow down and reassess what is important in life, how to really taste the foods we eat, how to recognize when we have had enough. If this is not satisfying, then the quest for satisfaction drives us on to consume something else, driving up weight, blood sugar, and impacting our health. But when fuller awareness is part of the process, then one can be more satisfied with simpler choices.
What truly satisfies you in your life? How do you know when you are happy, or "full"? Take a moment to ask yourself what part of your life you really enjoy. This might be a sweet piece of your overall health.
I invite you to join me here on my blog as we explore together the great parts of life, learn more about overall health and wellness, and in turn learn more about ourselves.
