What a beautiful day today is and actually yesterday as well. Now to be truly honest it has been pretty great for the last few days. Before that cloudy and rainy, but I do like the rain so I am not complaining about it. My Mother is as she needs to do work in the yard. One acre does not mow itself, at least she has a motorised mower for her to push. I think that is why she weighs what se did at twenty-one, Push a mower over an acre and go for a five kilometre walk (threeish) miles) walk in the afternoon and you should stay in shape. The woman is mad in my opinion but she enjoys it so what can I say. Seventy two years old should be more sensible but not her.
Just another example of lacing your boots up straightening your back, squaring your shoulders and getting on with your Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) life. I figure if she can I can as well, and if I can so can “YOU” There is nothing holding “YOU” back except your own fears, and silly restrictions put upon “YOU” by others. If they are not there holding “YOU” twenty four hours a day, day in and day out there restrictions can perhaps be taken with a dose of salt. “YOU” can be and should be much more able than what they think, even what “YOU” yourself think. RRms is rather tricksy, it wants to weaken “UOU”. Have “YOU” crying in a cold dark corner all alone. I might suggest that “YOU” are not as alone as “YOU” may think. There are four thousand other people on this website who have a similar if not the same illness as “YOU” There are more than one million in the United States, perhaps two million or more on this rock we call Earth, Cut me some slack my numbers may be a little low but “YOU” see the picture,”YOU” understand what I am saying. “YOU” my friend are not “ALONE” no “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” As a community we are all with “YOU” what “YOU” go through we understand. We are not exactly alike, we share similar symptoms we have similar fears, but we are not exactly alike. Our differences make us stronger, help us get through those long dark nights when we are in pain and scared. This is today, tonight and tomorrow a disease we can and will get through.
We all will learn about ourselves and how much we can actually cope with. Find our physical limits and push through them like a bulldozer on our journey through our ms life. This is our RRms life, nobody else’s We walk this path and travel through its mountains and valleys, nobody else, and nobody walks your path but “YOU” “YOU are not alone there are others along the path, but the strength to take the next step and to move forward is ultimately yours. “YOU” “CAN DO” this. There is no need to be scared motionless, the fire is within “YOU” let it burn bright and guide “YOU” forward. The shadowy shapes “YOU” see in your dreams are us reaching out helping “YOU” through your journey. This is your RRms life so help yourself as much as “YOU” can to continue on and when “YOU” need it reach out a hand and if we can help “YOU” take that next step, we will. We are all family, an RRms family and together we shall do this illness.
