I'm one of those people who did it all when I was young.
No children, no ties, life was loaded with new adventures and I grabbed at every one.
I had sooo much fun, and never felt guilty about any of it. I remember a very good friend telling me once in the middle of a river trip: "These ARE the good old days" and they were!
I have to behave now and act like a mature adult, taking care of a house and working a "real" job, health insurance and all that, the whole saving for old age, etc. but it isn't me. If it wasn't for MS I'd still be living in a tent, working on rivers around the world, eating mac and cheese for pennies.
I have this recurring dream where I wake up and don't have a chronic, expensive disease and I quit my job, cash in my IRA and hit the road again, without a care in the world. I still believe that in a few years I will be back out there, but for now, it's adulthood and all the lovely things that go with it! BLEAH!

I have this mental picture in my mind of you all, shaking bones and bells and charms, muttering prayers and voodoo curses, dancing around in a circle of salt, with leetle glasses and tiny bottles of cheer in the middle...myyyyyy friends!
