This past summer I decided to end my blog career with diabetes self management.  This coincided with the beginning of summer vacation and ironically fewer patients for therapy and fewer presentations.  At mid summer I started missing my blogging experience and had my web host build this weblog so I could write some more, but my summer vacation continued and I haven’t returned to writing until now.  Now that vacation is over it seems that diabetes challenges are picking up again.  I have more people to see in therapy, more presentations to do, and I am ready to write again.  I guess we all relax better during the summer and then when school starts we are all ready to get to it again.    Maybe this is also true with your diabetes care, or for some it is not diabetes but relationship issues.  I think the human tendency is to address life’s issues when the heat is on, or if there is pain.  If we can avoid the work or at least avoid the pain, we take a break.  But we all remember school starts in September so does (so it seems) everything else that requires work.  The point is I hope you are rested and ready for more of the work.  If it is diabetes behavior change get back to the educator and start again.  If it your sex life then maybe it is time to see your therapist once again and get things back on track.  If your an educator it might be time to get to a continuing education course and keep up to date on the latest information.  For me it is time to get those presentations prepared, book those new patients, and get my exercise back on a regular schedule.  Let me know what your re-starting.
