Good Morning may beloved ms family. I slept in late this morning. I had every intention of getting up and riding my scooter to the gym. It is charged and ready to go. Well there is a slight drizzle and my bed was sooo very warm. Guess who said, screw it and stayed in bed. If “YOU” guessed me “YOU” win. It is my birthday month so I can and stayed in bed and I am retired so I can. So can “YOU”. Apart from medicine there is not much that is so important. Keep yourself has healthy as “YOU” possibly can. Being chronically overweight and stuck in a bed is no way to live. ms is with us know until we pass. Every moment of everyday like to admit or not it rules our life. It may be subtle, it may be very visible, but it is there. For “YOU”’ for me. This does not make us less of anything. “YOU” are still able to push yourself, to make an effort. It may be harder, more frustrating than it once was. But “YOU” are a human being. Good, determined. “YOU” can do this ms life. “YOU” can adjust and overcome the idiosyncrasies of this strange illness. There is no easy answer to living a life with ms. “YOU” may think that “YOU” have everything squared away, put in place but this is a strange disease. It will and does adjust and continue to attack “YOU”, for years and years.
Personally I can think of many things that I can no longer do in my 20+ years. We all will lose many things. Some return, a little less than they once were, but we ALWAYS adapt and overcome. It is not our lot in life to just give up. To surrender to our ms, Admit that we failed and never to try.
ms is our life now. ms IS OUR LIFE NOW. Do not repair, adjust and adapt. Find a way to live a great life. Find new and different things to keep your mind active. Find new ways to keep yourself active, NEVER give up. Accept what has happened to “YOU” search for a reason. When “YOU” do not accept it and move onto a new phase of your life. Make your dreams different do not give up on them. “YOU” are still capable of so much, give yourself the opportunity to achieve them.

Never give up on yourself, continue living your best life
