Unlike the Other

This started as a draft from a few months back. After adding and subtracting some things I think this reads well. Not my best work, but I hope it helps further capture my feelings on the subject.

I’m an ambitious person. I’ve always looked out into the world with wonder. I want to do all the things, go to all the places, and live my life to the fullest. However, since my MS diag…

It's been a while since I published anything. Here's a little bit about my struggle with loss and starting over.

I don’t really know where to begin or how to put into words how I have been feeling as of late. I have tried many times. Best I can summarize it is that I’ve been feeling really lost, s…

It's the last day of March and before the clock hits midnight here on the west coast, I wanted to make sure I got at least one post in for MS Awareness Month.

I know I haven't written much recently about my experience with MS, it's been another busy and turbulent year with many ups and downs. They say it takes people about two years to learn how to live with this disease. Mine is stubborn much like me.

In any case, I thouught I'd take a moment to share some short stories the National MS Society has on their website. MS is varied and manifests itself differently for each of us. Please take these stories as a short sampling.

While it can be hard at times, I always try to take some time to take inventory of the many blessings I have. 💜

The last thing I want is for my chronic illness to make me bitter.

There are so many wonderful loving people in my life that I am so incredibly thankful for. I love you all… you know who you are! 🤗

Life is beautiful. 🥰

I have been saying for some time now that I get about four solid good hrs a day to get things done. Less when I am not feeling well. This really helps put things into perspective.

Love this! I very much fell like I am falling short whenever my chronic illness keeps me from being able to do things. It can be difficult to give myself grace when I feel like I should be contributing more. But it is important to take a step back and take inventory of the little things.

We do what we can when we can, and it is important to remember that just because we are unable to do today, doesn’t mean we can’t do tomorrow.

You are enough, just by virtue of being you! 💜💜💜

Do you ever stop to just look around and marvel at the people around you and wonder how they accomplish so much in a day? I am not just talking about the extraordinary accomplishments of humanity either. It's the seemingly mundane tasks of daily life which leave me most impressed. Those which in a past life I may have almost certainly taken for granted....
