Abundance of Support
I want to thank everyone for their support in my fight with MS. It is truly overwhelming (in a good way) love and support from everyone. With so much bad and negative in this world, actions and thoughts that people share with me, make me think this world is better than we all think. I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. I hope you all know how much your support and love means to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will continue to give this disease one hell of a fight for you! Thanks again for making me feel so blessed!

Guest Speaker
Today I went and talked to Oswego East High School Health class about MS. I love doing this! It was a 7:30 am class, yea you read that right! I was worried the kids would be asleep but they were an awesome group who listened the whole time and asked lots of great questions. I like to think they are hearing everything I am saying and all I hope is they get this out of what I have to say," Things are going to happen in life that you either decide you are going to get up and fight or you are going to let it take you over. I choose to fight this disease each and every day, and I hope you will always choose to fight too!" Let's hope they got that message. I love spreading the word about MS and getting more and more people to support the cause to END MS! Thanks to Lauren Anderson who asks me to come speak each semester.

Think about it...

MS Living
Found this article interesting in my MSF (Multiple Sclerosis Foundation) Magazine. In it contains an article about the Seven Habits of Highly Successful MSers. Love that! Written by Herb Karpatkin.
1. Be Proactive
2.Maintain and active lifestyle
3. Be aware of the psychological issues that result from the physical ones
4.Assemble a team of specialists
5. Exercise to address specific aspects of your disease, not just for wellness/fitness
6.Think long term
7.Have goals outside of MS
I want to expand on that last one because I like what he says.
"MS can be an all consuming disease if you let it. It is important to have an identity apart from it. Having goals, dreams, and aspirations that are separate from MS asserts that one is a person with a variety of interests. Having goals is a unique aspect of being human. It motivates and defines us. This is not to say that successfully managing one's own disease is not worthy goal. However, it should not be the only goal.
MS is a disease that will affect those who have it in multiple and often unpredictable ways during a lifetime. This does not mean that we are powerless in the face of the disease. People who have had powerful and meaningful lives in spite of the MS are often able to do so because they have used strategies which increase their sense of control over the disease, and therefore over their lives. I urge all people with MS to consider how these qualities can become useful for them."
Makes ya think, huh?
