MS and being yourself.Sort of..taking time before and after events...be nice to yourself and say NO sometimes...

I stayed in bed to make a couple hours of makeup and go to a local care center....I fit in because of walkers compassion and all around smiles and loves.Now in bed another week.Is this worth it.....in the moment yes! Registered COAI, I so want goodness to shine..as you see the droopy eyes it was a pic after it was all over....Where is strength....This is why a smile is painted on.....tired.This is a good clown...not naughty.Did MS seminar for parents and kids while back at discovery center...I got more than I gave for sure....

Good to see you can still muster a smile and still get enjoyment. The satisfaction you feel is worth it’s weight in gold, but we know you have to pay for it later. You haven’t been around for a while, I hope you are doing as well as you can. Blessings Jimeka 🤗

jackiesj My heart aches looking at the photo you have posted: the clown face, painted to be happy, welcoming; the soft pink halo of hair, jeweled crown atop...and yet, in the eyes and around the mouth a profound sadness, an unspoken grief. How many of us put on faces meant to hide what we have suffered and lost? Thank you for your courage, for going out into the world, and showing others yet another face of MS.

Thats it Jackie! We all need to grab on to those good days when we can! At least when we are down for a week afterwards we have sweet memories to help a bit. And you definitely look like a Good clown, not evil!
