I recently started the new category what helps here at aiming for grace. Many wonderful readers added their insights around what helps them in living with diabetes, which I greatly appreciate. I'm always blown away by the compassion, smartness and insight I gain from the diabetes community. Plus, the poetry. The poetry and beauty in peoples lives and particular viewpoint. Like this morning, for example. I was walking Ruppert and Flora just as the sun was rising. It was cold and a bit windy, but oh, it was so beautiful. I looked up in the sky and I realized it was the lovely blue that minnesota nice mentioned in her recent comment. "When the sky is still that beautiful, indescribable blue". The indescribable blue. I love that. And now I'm looking for it, early in the morning, noticing it just a little bit more. And guess what? It really does help. So thank-you kathy, and everyone else who shared their thoughts and insights and stories.
And thanks to just guessing for this great photo of morning sky, which I am borrowing, because of course, I didn't have a camera with me to capture a photo of the indescribable blue sky...




Minnesota does have a beautiful sky, more so in the bitter cold. I've been finding a lot of happiness in sleep lately. AAhhhhhhhhhhh, sleep :)

And, wouldn't you know, it was out there again this morning as I went to the bus stop, and I'm thinking that "sapphire" would perhaps come close. Looking at the morning sky fills me with a complete and perfect sense of belonging. Your picture is just lovely. Thank you!

Mornings are pretty special. All around.
I also like the deep dark night sky - late at night when you can see the stars, so bright and crisp.
It's still much different than the night sky that you see outside of the city - that is something special!

And how's that for three Minnesota commenters in a row! (I would call this #4, but that's stretching it a bit...).
Bet we couldn't do that again if we tried!
:-)
