Default happy msaversy to me

well its official I have now been dx with MS for one year.

Still not 100% sure how I feel about it.

Really, really wanted to just stay in bed today but I got up got dressed and here I sit at work like life is still the same.

I guess for the most part it is on the outside anyway. On the inside not so much.

Life will continue to go on and I can go with it or rollup into a ball and be still. No not really my style I guess.

I will go on and there will be days I will feel like I'm , days I will feel like , days I will against the wall and wonder "why me?".

But there will be days I will feel like its , days I will feel with the love of my friends and family, days I will feel like the , and days I will be with my life.

It will be a long strange road and thats ok because for me the struggles are God's way of reminding me to enjoy the good things that so many forget to be thankful for.

I'll let myself be and . Sleep late without feeling guilty.

I will enjoy my DD and her accomplishments as she grows into a strong independent spirit.

I will love my husband even when he makes me want to hit him with a frying pan.

I will have for myself and I refuse to be and all the time.

So thank you all for being on this journey with me and if you've read this fare .

So I guess I've decided life will go on and I will go with it where ever it takes me and I'll do it on my terms in my own irreverent style.



Thank You!!!!!

it's almost my MS-aversary too.



practice delight rather than denial:



enjoy the little things:



carry an umbrella:



taste life to the fullest extent possible:



and be sure to have fun along the way:

Not sure that "happy anniversary" is appropriate here - but I'm glad that you posted and you made my day a little brighter with your post full of emoticons - both of you did!

It is my anniversary too. Not only for MS but my wedding anniversary is this Thursday, Valentine's day. I hope it is only a coincedence.
We will be married 47 years and I have been diagnosed for 5.

May I say I think you are doing great! Not many people would have the guts to look an anniversary in the face like this and say, "Hey, this is the way it is, and I'm going to deal with it." The good, the bad, and the ugly. Hugs to you.
