About Me
A creative and compassionate capricorn. Although I have MS, it doesn't have me. In spite of the daily struggles that come with this disease, I try to keep my life as normal as I can. Fatigue, brain fog and zoning out are my persistent difficulties. Lower back spasms come with prolonged walking or standing.

Hug
One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say"I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad habits and report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile J can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.
I LOVE YA!!!
Live today because tomorrow is not promised..

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSI was diagnosed with MS April 1999, one week after a route canal. The first symptom was loss of sight in the right eye. For 7 years, I lived with it well, until March 2007. I am currently living with my family in Mississippi, no longer able to drive, suffered more cognitive impairment more than anything. It sucks because I had been writing a novel since early 2006 which has been on hold now.
