I\'m feeling happy today, my weakness is less. Lot of fever, lot of pills. The girls are happy and almost well. My siblings came by to deliver the couch and its always nice to see them. When we are together is like when we were kids. I love them, I love me with them. I see them once or twice a week but its always this wonderful feeling. My neighbours came by to see my new room. Every one helped in making this a reality. Now they are planning the kitchen, its amazing how one\'s need is another ones satisfaction. God bless them all. Mom and I have been on the phone back and forth and its funny how she laughs every single time I call. She feels my excitement and rejoices. Mom the kids are home; mom they just left (and the stories) mom are they home already? What am I going to do when she is no longer here? Its the same with my girls. Life is what one makes of it, heaven or hell. I have no room for excess luggage (hate, envy, bad vibes) our time here is so short we owe it to ourselves to pursue happiness and joy. Pain and limitations are not things that prevent happiness, its what we allow them to become in our lives. They are part of my life just like the color of my eyes, bone structure, height. I can\'t change them yet still feel happiness . I love and value my peace
That is wonderful that you get along with your family. Family is very important. I love your look on life. You are a positive influence on everyone. I hope you have a pain free day.
Today its been good, some pain but little weakness. Calmed and quiet, my neighbours came and clip the bushes, and visited for a while. Air conditioner guy finally came and service the unit, no more water on the floor. I survived without falling !!! Made a couple of calls and answer some. People are so nice, they always have a story about someone else with MS or something on the net. That tells me they were thinking about us. How nice. Today I told my mom I had a pain in my neck and she asked me what kind of pain, so to simplify I told her it was like sticking a wet finger on a socket and she busted out laughing so hard for over a minute, and she asked if my hair was sticking up too, we laugh sooo hard. Then she said. Oh hon I\'m so sorry (while still laughing) for laughing but I had a cartoon picture of that and I know you are feeling poorly. I had to tell her no need for an apology, this is funny as hell!! It\'s nice to start the day laughing, even if It\'s at misery. Got to love her.
Small miracles
This morning I ran out of cigarettes, told my daughter to drive me so I could get some and apparently she noticed my frustration (since I can\'t drive and my outlet was driving) so she drove me in silence after buying them she told me \" we are going for a ride\" and we did , by the time we came back we were laughing and really enjoyed the ride. Thirty minutes of bliss as she knows how much I love to drive nowhere thru the country, see the mountains, just drive. My whole day changed. I\'m happy .
Today was good, had someone working on the walls for the new kitchen and my brother came to help. My parents came early in the morning and spend some time with the girls. Later in the afternoon my sister came by, always happy to see them all. A lot of progress today. Got rid of the van. My neighbours also came by for an hour or so. I\'m very tired but very happy. Tomorrow first day of PT andBT. And the man is also coming to work. Love this day, God bless them all.

I want to wish all my DS friends the best Holiday Season , better health, and happy days. May the new year make all your wishes come true. Keep positive, stress free and Remember to laugh. Thank you all for the support and friendships. God bless.
It\'s been two months since my last entry. My bedroom and kitchen are finished and balcony as well, only the bathroom needs to be finished. We went to another MS seminar yesterday, they expected 100 people and 160 attended. It was at the Holiday Inn Hotel on the west. I loved it, seeing some friends again and meeting new ones. Had a great time until I was overheated on the way home. But that didn\'t change my feelings, minor inconvenient , but still able to go out. Girls had a good time and they spoke at the seminar about service dogs, amazing to see how excited people got to learn how many tasks a service dog can perform. I\'m happy!!
My brother is going back home, I\'ll miss him.
Mom and dad are great and hope they\'ll be for many years.
Sometimes when I read some posts, I feel sad/ sorry for some. I wish I was close to them to be there for them. Life It\'s not all happy or miserable. It\'s made of moments, sick moments, happy moments, sad moments, desperate moments, but It\'s how we perceive those moments that makes a difference. If I fall, I laugh, if I go unbalanced, I laugh, if the pain is out of control, I cry, if they disconnect my services, I deal with it, if I\'m bored , I do something , if I\'m feeling unloved , I send love messages . Life is made of moments, I try my moments to be what I want my life to be. Senseless? At night, my basic feeling is satisfaction, for all I\'ve done, if I had to spend the whole day in bed, I feel satisfy I went to the bathroom by myself, I grab a snack out of my bedside bucket, I called and listen to someone\'s problems and didn\'t talk about mine. Life isn\'t a pissing contest. Life is good if we look hard , some don\'t bother to look. I wish I was there......

You have a good attitude. I like that about you.
I have never read your Journal entries before. Way to go with keeping up the great attitude, I know it is hard.
It is great having a friend like you on the board.
