That was such an awesome idea to post music!
I see it now… “TuD Commintiy Tunes” album!
@Rphil2 used to send me a video of John Lennon singing “Instant Karma” when I needed it.
I also like “Badlands” by Bruce Springsteen, esp the part where he sings “baby I want control RIGHT NOW”

It’s a fragile thing
this life we lead
If I think too much I get over whelmed
by the grace by which we live our lives
with death over our shoulder
I will say that this song is not just about my diabetes, it’s about life and love.

I charge my mind with releasing all negative blockages
I love myself
I like myself
I accept myself
I am strong
I am calm
I am safe
I am centred
And I heavenly breathe in the positive now
And I heavenly release all negativity
That is not mine and all that is mine
And I heavenly release the negative past
And heavenly increase my own divine
I am positive, I believe in myself, and I can do this.

Drink more coffee. You can sleep when you’re dead.
(This is my mantra for dealing with my 13-year-old daughter’s Type 1 diabetes. I do a lot of adjustments/corrections during the night to keep her in range as much as possible. I sleep through the night only 5 nights per year: when my daughter is at diabetes camp.)

LOL. I once worked with someone who had the following sign on the wall of his cubicle:
Drink more coffee. People in India are sleeping.

Country version of the motley crue classic.
I like Chuck Eichten’s Book of Better tagline: Life with diabetes can’t be perfect – make it better. We live life at the margins. We don’t have to fix everything. If my sugar’s 180, what can I do to make it 150? Operating on the margins, pushing for greener pastures, given enough time will improve your life. Life is a product of effort and time; don’t ever underestimate the value of time.

I attribute my favorite quote to @acidrock23. It is better to regret something you have done than to regret something you didn’t do.
That quote convinced me to go for an insulin pump. At the time I was stuck on the fence. That quote pushed me to do something. Thanks Again @acidrock23.

Thanks @Stemwinder_Gary! I appreciate the feedback although I have to admit, it’s from “Sweat Loaf” by the Butthole Surfers… Heh heh heh. I really can only discuss this song in person but it reflects my diabetes Weltanschauung very well… Butthole Surfers - Sweat Loaf - YouTube

Two: From the poet Antonio Machado…“Seeker, there is no path. The path is shaped by walking.”
And from the Dalai Lama: “My religion is simple. My religion is kindness.”…
In other words–Love and kindness rule…Along with finding your way----with the kind of support provided here at TuD!..Blessings all…Judith in Portland…

I forgot to mention the song “patience” by take that. Recently i have been struggling to be patient enough to wait for a high to come down, which often resulted in me overcorrecting and going low afterwards.
So i listen to that song to “just have a little patience”
