Yesterday, being the first Blue Friday, I went walking by the river after dialysis. The Mississippi runs just north of downtown Minneapolis and I love its healing waters.
Being as I am not exactly a shy person, I asked a boy to take my picture:
I was thinking that I'm in a rough patch now, feeling once again overwhelmed by the 'betes and the dialysis. I am not looking forward to the long dark winter ahead.
I was shuffling along, deep in contemplation, when I saw this:
I was about a millimeter away from screaming to anyone who would listen, "look, there's a blue circle, right here on the sidewalk, for Diabetes Awareness Month". Too bad no one was around.
My friend S. says a meaningful coincidence is "when God winks at you". And guess what, I winked back.. And went home with a smile on my face.

What a sign :)
(Struggling myself with the darkness.)
I'm so glad you're not shy. What a great photo!
Yeah, I'm going to have visit my sister and spend time with you.
I am glad God winked at you. I love the photo you look great in blue
A great photo of you! And I love that when you needed it so much, you got a message that you are not alone. I'm extra happy that you were able to receive it.
That was a big wink from God! Great pic and I am also glad you are not shy and asked to have someone take it for you.
So sometimes there is a silver lining to feeling like you need to walk around with your head down - you may never have seen this if you'd been feeling more positive! Great post. Polly x
