Hey B2Y ... totally agree!

I've 'learned' since the MS dx - to just 'go away' ... not argue or 'correct' someone on my pain or feelings and being TOLD what I have from friends (?) ... ya, those friends ...

yes, I spend ALOT of time alone - being single and no family was MY choice and I'm OKAY with it ... and very, VERY independent ... I do not have to go and live in someone's basement because I could be in a wheelchair tomorrow ... etc - like you said!

where do I get my energy? cutting alot of 'those' peeps from my life ... and many were cousins, relatives, and so-called friends ...

all my life - people told me I was stupid or what I liked was stupid ... well, I've done alot in my life - in a way to say that I can do anything I want ... and if you don't like it ... there's the door, don't let it hit you in the backside!

I do NOT have to live in an assisted living center ... I am below the poverty line ... and guess what? I'm debt-free, my bills are paid, I support the roof (and own it, too) over my head, I have food to eat, and gas in my car ... I'm so much happier since the MS ... sounds weird, huh? and I like who I am TODAY ...

bring on tomorrow ... and we have Koala to already tell us that it's here!!
