Well yes.As the television announcement says, for some time, I think a stop could be good.A break.A "diabetic vacation", as the great psychologist in diabetes Iñaki Llorente says.They are a few things that sometimes pile up and generate some unnecessary stress.And it is true that we have all noticed on occasion that diabetes saturates us a bit and that we could do well disconnect in some way from all those extra concerns that this disease supposes.But of course, it's not so easy.
For a few months I have been noticing these symptoms of the need for diabetic holidays.It is true that I cannot stop taking care of myself, and that I cannot stop watching in my diabetes, but I can distance myself a little - at least for a while - of everything that surrounds this disease.And coincidentally, it is precisely now in March when some of my concerns and tasks related to diabetes, touch to an end.My mandate is over as president of the Biscay Association and at the same time also the presidency of the Euskadi Federation.Therefore, my presence in Madrid also ends in the Fede.When I started my presidency, I said I would be just a mandate.And I have done so.I was clear before, and now even more.Because I think it is necessary not to enter into these types of unpaid charges that wear so much and how a few compliments they receive.In addition, they phagocy a lot of personal free time and unless your work allows you, it is also necessary that time for you and yours.And for a long time, I am angry to see that I cannot do everything I wanted in the association because I do not have physical time for it.Therefore, both personal life and my work at the head of the Association/Federation suffer.
But not only that period of linking with my diabetes ends.I also want to start a rest and disconnection stage with a bit of distancing on other fronts, such as the Internet.Look at news, read articles, inform me of things, read and post in forums ... All this also wants to enter the pack that I intend to leave a little aside for a while.And that's why I tell you all this roll.
I will not disappear.I think I can continue to help people.I have been on the board of directors of my association for 8 years and they have insisted to continue in it, although my presence is from now on as "ghost member", with much lower assistance, at least during my diabetic holiday period.I just want to take a break.Something that I think sometimes we all need in different areas or areas, and this, why not, it is more that can sometimes require - and in fact it does it now - a period of disconnection or distancing.
Well that.The other day I had my last meeting as president of Bizkaia.In two weeks I will go to my last meeting of the Fede to Madrid.And in 3 weeks I will have my last Ordinary General Assembly of members of my association, in which I will give accounts of this year 2012 and the balance that I leave to my substitute.That is, this month I will liquidate the fringes that will end this stage that I hope to pass another in which to be able to take everything that surrounds this disease with a little more calm.I wanted to participate in my intention and what I have long thought about.Of course, since I do not become invisible, I am still located for those who want to locate me.I'm going on vacation without mobile, but there is always the hotel phone, I don't know if I explain ... :)) :))
