I am grateful for being diagnosed with MS

I know call me crazy for the title of this post but it is true. I am grateful for being diagnosed with MS. Being diagnosed changed my life and who I am today. I do have to say that I do not want this disease by any means. However, I did not get to choose to be diagnosed with this. So, with that said, I might as well make the best out of it. At times I feel there is no good to come out of having this disease, but there is always good in life. God gave me this disease for a reason and along the way here I have found a few reasons why. Here are a few of the things that I am grateful for. Each day waking up and being able to walk, talk, function, is a blessing. I never thought about that before. I took advantage of waking up each day and going about my merry, worry free day. Now every morning I am grateful for no new symptom holding me back to get moving. There are some days that are not so great, but I only look to the good ones. I don't take anything for granted anymore. Life is too short to be worried about useless things in life. I worried so much about everything until now. I first, can't take the stress on anymore, stress is horrible for MS. I capture what life brings, and let the little things go. I know easier said than done but it can be possible. I have to thank my husband for guiding me in the "let it go" area of all that. He is the one who always puts me back where I need to be. Positive and no stress. I am grateful for realizing who is your support system in your life. Who are the ones who are there for you, those asking how you are, those wanting to help, those saying prayers. You never think about these things until something like this happens. But let me tell you, having that support system means the world to me. And I will never be able to thank those enough. I am grateful that I have found my purpose in life. To be an active, healthy, positive, determined, and loving person to all. And that is because of being diagnosed with MS. For that, I will be forever grateful to be a better person and make a differnce in this world. Well, so I hope!:)
