Blessings,

Is there anyone else at home who can do your shopping?

I have found it so much easier to think in terms of what I want my energy for in a day. Do I want to spend my energy cleaning the kitchen or working on a quilt? Do I want to go shopping or walking in the neighborhood? Can I combine my walking routine with my shopping? Can I quilt and call a friend via speaker phone at the same time?

I find the days I seem to pity myself are the days that I didn't sleep good the night before. Naps ALWAYS come first for me!

(and you know what? in my previous life, naps were for babies and old folks - not ME!)

As they tell new moms - don't compare your baby to another baby. I learned with MS, this was true too. I don't have your MS, I don't have Becky's MS, and I sure don't function like my healthy next door neighbor!

Peace!
