The Picture of Success!
So I am a cover boy. A sex symbol, if you will. :-)
I'm on the cover of this month's issue of Diabetes Forecast Magazine. As if being the cover model wasn't enough, they have "SUCCESS!" plastered across my scrawny shoulders. How am I supposed to live up to that?
In truth, I've been somewhat successful in having a hobby, in staying alive and relatively free of diabetic complications. But there are so many things that I'm struggling with from day to day, that I hardly ever think of myself as successful.
But I'm happy. I'm still working at all of those things I don't feel I've succeeded at yet. Maybe being here to struggle, to put up a fight, is a success in itself.
If you're reading this, please let me know what you think.

Very cool stuff Jerry!
I haven't read the mag yet, but I do think that living happily and fairly healthily with diabetes is success!
Congrats on becoming a cover model Jerry! I wonder why my subscription spontaneously ended a few months back...
I only hope to keep as healthy as you are as time passes.
Lookin' Good Jerry!
1.) I didn't know you had a new blog!
2.) I didn't know you were on the cover of DF (I really need to start reading it again)
3.) I'm wicked jealous of the MGD deal..
Congrats on all 3!
Or maybe I should say... I didn't know you were updating the blog... either way, you're in the blogroll now.
Jerry,
You are the MAN Big Daddy! Can't wait to read the article. See you soon at DTC. Rock On!
