We all know of MS devastating effects on our mind and our body. It is easy for us to let it get us down and fall into the deep black hole of depression and hopelessness. Once there, MS has us right where it wants us. In charge of our mind in our body, and it can run rampant and destroy us in no time at all. Don't despair, there's a solution that each of us have control of that we sometime forget to use it.
Say Yes!....
Say yes, and celebrate each and every small victory because they add up to major changes in our mind and our body.
Say yes to realizing how much you still have.
Our family, children, grandchildren are still there, and often do they most unexspected things that bring a smile to our face.
If you don't have a family, maybe you have a sibling, close friend or neighbor, or a best friend that you can share in your joys and in your troubles. I believe wholeheartedly in the saying that troubles shared are troubles lessened. If there's no family for you to lean on, you always have your family here in the chat room to talk to, share problems with, or to laugh out loud with.
The sky is still blue. The sunsets are still majestic. The man in the moon is still watching from above. Take a deep breath of air after a big rain and smell how sweet it is.
Look at your favorite landscape and enjoy the colors and the perfection that takes your breath away. Is it the city with its bright lights, tall landscapes, and movement? Is it the mountains with their majestic peaks and roof lined with stars? Is it the lake with its blue, still waters and the peace and tranquility that is represents? Is it the ocean with its perpetual changing tides, untamed waves and barely contained violence that speaks to your soul. Or is it like me, the black planked pastures of Kentucky with fields full of horses that remind you of days gone by when you did so much with them.
Hear a new joke or read some funny things, like jimeka did, and laugh your head off! Say yes and thank you to ken and jimeka and everyone else in the chat room that posts the funnies regularly for us to read and laugh at. They both truly understand the value of YES!
It's hard to stay down or depressed when you're laughing hard, or you have a big smile on your face.
Say YES to keeping your glass half FULL. Say yes to a positive attitude because it goes a long way in knocking this dreaded monster we live with in the head. Dig as deep as you need to and find. the positive vibes in your head and life alive. Laugh at the simple things that you see every day. Find things in your life to enjoy each and every day and keep them in the forefront of your vision.
Say yes and remember the old saying, "Laughter is the best medicine!" Fancy59.
