[luvhair]

That is a fabulous flower, luvhair , and it makes me smile, so it does exude positivity!

Is it made from paper? Or is it made with wood? And you did all the painting? Is this craft class from a business that specializes in this? I have seen a few businesses that have craft classes that specialize in candle making, jewelry making, but they are specifically for children and birthday parties. There are a few quilt groups available but they are through the senior citizen center, and the church.

Keep Smiling,

Carole

As long as you take enjoyment from making things, then it is worth it. Making a little money from selling your creations, well that's a bonus!

thats just beautiful, luvhair, it's just wonderful you've found an outlet that makes you happy. you should be proud. i always loved crafts did so much different types years ago. however now my hands don't work very well. writing , dropping , typing lol, but my outlet is water aerobics. i live in SC so ever, morning i can i go for an hour in our community pool and in the winter the town pool. we each have to do something positive to fill our lives. i'm glad you found yours.

[luvhair in reply to Jds1945]

Oh thts a bummer..happy u can do the water..i tried here but the chemicals n inside pool i cant do closetst fresh water pool is 2 hours away..but good for you..i am gonna try go to pool here n nebr..in try to exercise in it xoxo

[Jds1945 in reply to luvhair]

we all have our drawbacks in different ways, but glad you have a good one for you . i'm fortunate to be able to exercise without a problem with chlorinated water. otherwise i'd get no exercise at all. and you meet so many really nice people and forge friendships

[luvhair in reply to Jds1945]

I know it's so hard to meet people now with this beast..im not gonna get negative today but really lost all friends n lots family cuz always to tired to do much..i guess im learning to be alone n do stuff on my own..im 58 never have lived alone so this last year been real rough..i guess thing would be way diff if not for this ms.i could do hair friends.n all tht but i guess GOD has a different plan..much love xo

[goatgal]

I am so glad to see you standing, holding your artwork, and (more importantly) out of your home and interacting with supporting folks. This is such good news!!! Keep up the sharing with us. When you go silent, I worry about you. Here's to more happy vibes and positivity! A bouquet of them!

[luvhair in reply to goatgal]

Ahhh thank you..i will..it isnt easy ..back down today..i thoght i would sit on my balcony yesterday to get a little sun for half hour..tht back fired on me too..im tired of lookin like Elmer glue so pasty..anyway with in about 2 hours ..it knocked me out..flippin woke up my memory forgot what day it was today and more electric shock goin thru me..and pain n arms n legs..im tryin stay positive but i really hate this..really..xoxo

[goatgal in reply to luvhair]

You don't need full sun to deepen skin tone. Try it again when there is partial sun...even a cloudy day can activate the cells that make us tan. Sitting in full sun is not something most of us can do...especially for any length of time. Even standing still to chat with a neighbor, I have to move into the shade before I get overheated. If I remember my science, it is the ultraviolet rays that created tanning...and these will penetrate cloud cover. I hope you recover quickly!

[luvhair in reply to goatgal]

Ty yea i new this and i did it anyway..so miss the sun n and tan..just down today wish a cure for this..ya know..

[greaterexp]

You're so right! It looks so happy, and would make anyone happy just to look at it!

[luvhair in reply to greaterexp]

[mrsmike9 in reply to luvhair]

MS is why I started being creative again. Dr said I needed OT and insurance wouldn't cover it at the time. So I came up with my own OT!

[luvhair in reply to mrsmike9]

Amen..yep doing hair is artistic but lost all tht yea i started it at a rehab day program place lady well sorry not wht i want to can her any way..she cut the art out as not coping skills..hmmm i did lots of research on this matter n hello sure is talked to her held up lady tht couldnt BELIEVE it..even had drs. Notes as helping cognitive nn..my inflammation go down ..mri wasnt bad on and on..yep they thru drs note back at me if i had money n lawyers we would be n court..well this place usually has 60 clients daily heard down to 25 if that has the manager isnt and doesnt have any insight of desibilitys.. Mental issues anything..all bout her money sorry to vent xoxo

Hi luvhair

I've been reading about your struggles dealing with your MS. MS really is hard and really changes your life so drastically. I'm 56 and it hit me in my early 40s. Never saw it coming. I new something was not right but I'm tough and have lived with terrible migraines since 12 years old. I married at 21 and had raised 3 children and always worked toughing it out. Then had optic nueritus lost 3 jobs from being sick and weak then the fatigue came numbness tingling then went paralized. Well then lost friends and relatives stopped too.

I just can't believe how you get treated because of your MS disease and IT'S symptoms complications but you're still alive and breathing. You might not talk right think right walk right but you're still alive breathing and NO ONE wants to be with you! They DON'T want to hear about how bad you feel physically emotional or spiritually. It's like YOU don't matter ANYMORE. You're too much work for them to associate with ANYMORE. Where is the love from people to care enough. I get it! It has happened to me in all forms. But DON'T give up! Never give up. Their are those few who truly love and care for others. And I have my Lord.

Blessings to YOU becky
