Put These On For a Second....

Come with me, and see the world through Blue Colored Glasses.
Just imagine if you will...
You pass the bakery, all the donuts in the window are glazed in an eye catching Blue.
You go to the park. All the kids are riding their  bikes, and you notice they have Blue circle stickers all over them.
You're dropping your parents off at the airport. As you approach the jetway, you notice all the planes are sporting Blue circles on their wings.
At the local bar with some friends - the commericals about diabetes are correct. People of all ages are shown. All types of D. The truth was spoken.
You get to your daughter's school for assembly - all the girls are showing off their Blue hair in honor of Diabetes awareness month.
You have a meeting at church tonight - collecting strips and insulin for those in need. No one will go without.
Your son's birthday is tomorrow - at the buffet, there's carb counts for every single item. Scales, & measuring cups at every table.
Can you see it? A world where Diabetes gets noticed for what it IS.
Not what people think it IS.
Where we are accomodated as we should be, things are easier because the world is taking notice.
Where we don't feel uncomfortable or singled out, but are, instead, welcomed and understood.
These are just some of the things I see when I put on my Blue glasses.
Truth. Support. Awareness. Advocacy.
All dressed in BLUE.
Tell us what you see in your BLUE world.
