G'Day, Good morning

I most certainly hope it is for “YOU Yesterday I spent the day watching “Travellers” and “Stranger Things 3” on Netflix. I did not even turn the computer on, Withdrawals, no not really. I really liked “Travellers” and “Stranger Things 3” Netflix can make some good shows, absolute garbage sometimes but winners every now and again. The next series of “The Expanse” looks interesting as I am a complete Sci-fi fan.

Speaking of which has anybody read the books by Micheal Manson that I mentioned few days ago? He is on a book tour in Australia at the moment and has been on the morning television shows a few times. Mother watches them during breakfast so I caught it as well.

Just to make everybody jealous it is a truly beautiful morning today (yes the world still exists so keep taking your Disease Modifying Therapy)(DMT) Chirping birds sun shining and not a cloud in the sky, which is not a good thing in Australia, we need some rain. It is just a good day to be alive. Tonight after Ninja Warrior I am going to look at the stars, again. I am sure I will just be able to see a portion of what is above me, but I have seen it before and I still remember. Maybe one day I will go to Uluru (Ayres Rock) again and see the night sky, now that would be incredible. More money than I want to spend, so more likely the Grand Canyon and a rocket launch in Florida. At least I can dream, both unlikely to happen as they cost much more money than I have in all honesty. Still it is fun to dream.

I do not waste my time on dreaming of a cure’ No, only things that are under my influence and might one day happen. A cure for mine and your Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) is way beyond my control and is unlikely to happen in my lifetime. Remember I am fifty if I was really young, maybe, but I doubt it. “YOU” are much better thinking of what can “YOU” do to make your life better. Make yourself into something strong enough to survive the ms downhills. Then strong enough to keep climbin uphill again. There are ms downhills. Look after yourself and maybe there will not be many, then on the uphills be strong bold and tenacious enough to keep taking the next step and clawing your way up as high as “YOU” can go. This is a very doable illness, it does not have to be doom and gloom. Put that thought aside. Calmly look around and gather the resources that “YOU” will need on your lifelong RRms Journey. They “ARE” out there. “YOU” just have to find them, and of course use them.

Royce, Fifty is the new Thirty! Dream big, and there is nothing wrong with that. Perhaps someday, your dreams will become reality. Yesterday, I was a couch potato and I watched the Good Witch on the Hallmark Channel. I had never really seen it but now it is to be my new favorite go to series! I know, I am weird. You're talking to someone who enjoys any Hallmark Christmas movie, anytime of the year! :-D

Noooo, I apologize for dredging up those experiences for you, Royce. I was talking about the physicality of being thirty, and not everything else. But I understand what you are saying. :-D
