Notice: If you are looking for Reasons for Love, Kymberlie (at Neurotic Fishbowl) has kindly offered to take care of it until I’m back from my break. So, if you have some good reasons for love to share, check the very nice page she set up for the meme. Thank you so much, Kymberlie!!
Last night I told a couple of friends that I was tired of my blog and that I didn’t know if it was temporary thing or tired for good. So, I asked “Should I take a break or break it?”. They told me to take a break and that’s what I will do, instead of just closing the blog for good; how long? I don’t know… it could be 2 days, 2 weeks or a little more… God knows. The truth is, I’m fed up with this and I need a motivation that I don’t have right now. I have to find it under the bed, I guess ;-)
Meet me halfway, across the sky… Meanwhile, talk to me and if you want, join the Notification List (check the sidebar) to know when I’m back because that probably will happen. For those wondering if I’m doing ok… YES! Life’s a bliss, cross my heart. I just don’t feel like blogging.

My personal story goes from having a diabetic father who died in 2000 due to heart complications, even if he too good care of himself, to being diagnosed in 2001 with Type 2 Diabetes and I have to sting myself every single day to watch my blood sugar levels; I take medication three times a day and I (try to) follow a diet. Still I don’t think I have reached the point where I’m properly responsible for my condition (I should exercise more) and I have to read the facts about the Diabetes toll again and again to understand that this is not something I can joke about.
