Whole foods help. We took a crack at growing some of our own this year. Vermont's "monsoon season" hasn't helped, but we got a humble harvest out of the deal. And it's still producing. Not sure all the tomatoes'll ripen. Got a diabetic-friendly recipe for fried green tomatoes? We're in the market for one. Be well. Take care of you. Celebrate growth - in the garden and in life.

If your coach or nutritionist or doctor is preaching about complete avoidance of sugar in answer to your health improvement goals, may I recommend walking away? Or at least expanding your circle? It's just not that simple. But it's really not hard, either. Living well with diabetes is so personalized, and as I've seen, best served by balance. There's room for everything in ideal proportion. I promise. And just for fun, here are 2 cute dogs ready to play ball. :)

Coffee ice. Iced coffee. This was the first "change one thing you do every day," thing that started me on the path to better health. There are some that may say coffee's no good, or that cream has sugar you know or whatever. But I say everything fits in moderation. So enjoy it. This is how I do. I freeze the little bit at the bottom of the pot and add to my cuppa for a quick undiluted-by-watery-ice summer joe, add light cream, and go. Enjoy July! And cheers!

Always remember ...

"And always remember that people's judgments about you are none of your business. Lastly, remember what W. C. Fields had to say on this point: “It ain't what they call you; it's what you answer to.” Actually, don't even bother answering. Just keep doing your thing.”
