Good morning much-loved family. Are “YOU” okay, looking forward to today's adventures? After 6 hours of Netflix “The Order” yesterday, I am looking forward to the last few episodes today. I should do something constructive I guess, I know make the bed will be a start.
Okay, a definition. I do not mind by being defined as having ms. I do that is a reality. I am not sure what that exactly means, what does it mean to “YOU”? I am certain that it does not define me as less than anybody else. It most certainly does NOT mean that I can not do things that I really put my mind to and make an effort to achieve. Okay, I think that no matter how hard I try I would never ever beat Usain Bolt in a foot race. I accept that. There are so many other things that I can do, and “YOU” can as well. Do not limit yourself because “YOU” have ms. Let it define “YOU” if that suits “YOU”. Remarkable thing “YOU” are a Homo Sapiens “YOU” are allowed to change your mind. Adapt to your circumstances and invent new futures for yourself.
Nobody can get off the ms path we walk, but most certainly we ALL CAN choose the direction in which we travel. How hard or challenging that obstacle we face is. Try not to argue with me too hard but 20+ years with this condition tells me that pretty much anything can be avoided if I pay attention. Do not go mow the lawn in the heat then expect to do fine needlework afterwards. Perhaps “YOU” can but I most certainly could not. Take control of your ms, do not define “YOU” as weak ,helpless and unable to look after yourself. There are ways and techniques around the uncertainties of life with ms.
Make ms define you as a strong determined person. One who will always get back up no matter how many times “YOU” have been knocked down. ms defines me, and it's definition is. “YES YOU can do this and do this well, and if I can so can “YOU”.
Royce (your ms writer)
ms does not have to define you as anything less than you want it too
