When I was younger, I used to have this thought. To me, it felt almost wrong to think it, like I needed to be careful what went through my mind. I never told anyone; people would think it was selfish. People would ask why in the world would I think about such things. I... Continue Reading →

I took these videos exactly one year ago, today. They were meant for my dad; I sent them to his cell phone to keep him updated on my progress. Look how far I've come. The first video, you can see that I was still concentrating on walking correctly. My gait is slightly unsteady, and that was... Continue Reading →

Take a step into my life and thoughts for a moment...   About a week ago, I was wrapping up my day and getting ready to go to bed. As my mind wandered, I took a sharp breath in and realized I hadn't taken my MS pill for the night even though I'd finished dinner two... Continue Reading →

Hello, friends! I hope this post finds you well. Today I want to talk about something that's relevant to many of us. **Not responsible for the misspelling of 'realise' on the last picture. I do know that it is spelled 'realize' 😉 I was just talking about "adulting" with a friend on Skype last night.... Continue Reading →

Hello, friends! So, my last few posts have been anything but happy and encouraging. I do apologize for that, and I hope you won’t hold it against me.

As I sit here typing I am acutely aware that I haven’t written a blog in quite a while. I’ve wanted to write, I’ve just been at a loss of what to write about. I even had a draft saved, but when I went to publish it, I just couldn’t. I didn’t feel like it.... Continue Reading →
