Ok, so here we are, starting a new year, with all our hopes and dreams for better days. I think a cure would be a great way to start the year, but, since we don't have that, let's try to fulfill our dreams, in any way we can. I think I can, I think I can....Oh, shut up, Sally.

I'm a little down after the hustle bustle of the Holidays. I'm glad it's over and yet, it makes me sad to be glad it's over...KWIM?

I used to look forward to January, because I will be a year older at the end of the month. I would even be happy to be 68 (yes, that's right.), if i had lived my life to the fullest for all those years....But, alas, over half of my life has been spent with MS...the last 10 years being the worst.

I have, for the most part, been a recluse, since my last MS Attack, in 1997. By the time I got on LDN, in April 2003, it was too late. I was already where I am...SPMS.

So, right now, life sucks to be me. I'll pull myself up...I always do, with a lot of help from my Cyber Friends.....You!! Having a loving Family helps too, but they have their lives to live...Ya Know?

Thanks for letting me whine with no cheese.

What are your hopes and dreams and what will you do to make them happen.

NEXT.......

Duh? (Taffy with her dumb look...)

Darn it Sal...now I have to go off to the corner and sit and think. (I had a thought once...)

I usually just take it a day at a time right now.

Off to ponder the big picture....Wow! It is a big screen!

Taffy said Damn!

you can say damn here...but not **** clark or **** chaney

I wanna try:

Marcia Clark...


It worked!

No it didn't! (waiting for thunder bolt to hit me for lying and being a potty mouth!)

But look, it is gone!

That's the nice thing about quotes! Although there are SOME people who shall remain NAMESLESS who change quotes! That where that famous saying came from --- Here, FIFY! And Poof! It's fixed! LOL!

Yeah, Sal, I know exactly what you mean. Last year was the beginning of a new beginning for me! One step at a time. Lots of potholes along the way. Here's hoping that 2008 is a lot better for all of us!

Cheers!

Sal: Did you get into my mind today? Your thoughts were just what I was thinking this morning.

I am happy that I have found my cyper family also. At least when I do blast off my thoughts and problems everyone understands. My family is supportive but they really don't know how I really feel.

But just as Taffy has said "ONE DAY AT A TIME"

I say that everyday but as you know there are days that it just does not help.
I am happy that I now have my dog SAGE she is helping fill in the emptiness after the holidays when the family returns home and goes on with their lives.

I am happy that I found you and everyone else. You are filling another emptiness in my life.

Wow Sal~~ You caught me offguard. I don't even know how to answer this one. Guess I too, must just take one day at a time and try to place one foot in front of the other to keep going.

Seems like this past yr has just been one thing after another, so I know that I have to move forward and make the best I can out of every day the Lord gives me. Can I achieve that? I don't know, but I am going to give it a good try and be thankful for everything I DO have.

Right there with you, Sal. I'm doing my best to snap out of it, I need to look forward to longer days and higher temps (so I can hole up in A/C instead).

My big thing is getting beyond disappointments, gotta lower the expectations, I guess.
