Post 662

Family, G’day again This has been running around in my head so “YOU” get to see my madness. Okay, not really madness, merely a thought. As always I write mainly to newly diagnosed, but I think it applies to anybody looking for a resource to help them build up their Gringotts vault. That is where “YOU” store all of your happy memories and your success, For those days when “YOU” remind yourself that YES “YOU” really can live with this illness and live well.

Have “YOU” ever seen the History channel series Alone. Survivalists go out onto the Canadian arctic and with limited tools survive for as long as they can. An ms lady tried it last season, did not win, but she tried it. She had no Disease-Modifying Therapy DMT) so she did not get far, but she still tried. She attempted to do something that we all are not supposed to do, yet she tried. She attempted something that she was guaranteed to fail at, yet she tried. Have you seen the movie the 300. 300 Spartans stood against the might of the Persian army. They tried, mowing that likely they would fail. Yet they tried.

I am sure that “YOU” can find numerous examples throughout history, even your own lifer where against the odds “YOU” tried. “you” may have failed but “YOU” tried. Tried hard and “YOU” failed but “YOU” tried. I am so impressed with “YOU”. That is something to be congratulated, shouted from the rooftops. It is little successes like this that “YOU” need to hold onto. I did XYZ oncer and I will do it again. I may be down but I am never out. Personally the statement “I have ms but it does not have me” I dislike, but it is so very true, and it should be the same for “YOU”.

Look around “YOU”, find moments and symbols of strength. Put them in your Gringotts treasure vault. Study them, find the similarities and build o them to give “YOU” that strength “YOU” need. The stillest most seemly minor thing maybe what “YOU” need at 3 am in the cold and dark. Energetically look for items events that build “YOU” up. Avoid things that seek to pull “YOU” down, never ever give up on yourself. “YOU” are very special, if “YOU” can maybe I can as well.

Unlike those survivalists, “YOU” my ms sibling are not alone. We are with “YOU”, look around do “YOU” see us?

Royce ( your ms writer)

build yourself up, ms is a lifelong path to walk

Royce, thanks. I, too, have never liked that particular saying. Glad we share the same feeling. I have my vault of good memories and make new ones to draw upon. Have been very down before, but got through it. Now feel better prepared if and when it returns. Much love, Kelly

I am tired of trying. I tried for over 50 years to “do”, to “be”, to “accomplish” . Through Gods grace, my grit, sheer determination (stubbornness?- one doc said I was foolish to ruin my health faster), I scratched off the things on my bucket list. But, now? Just very tired of trying. Going to stop awhile and rest. For a long time.

I think that is what life is about, trying

Try, try and always try. Where there is a will, there's a way! Good Post, Royce

I sometimes give up too easily, and I cry out of frustration. But then, I try again, and sometimes I surprise even myself.
