Steady on mister Mitch! Your ability to hold things in perspective and choose to live in the positive is so refreshing. Always makes me take a step back and say, ‘hey, if he can do it….’
Mary, great to hear from you. I like to be useful, and if my reflections cause people to say “hey, if he can do it…” then I am happy. I do worry, sometimes, though, that people may say, “look at what he has to endure, and he does it. Yet I don’t have half the problems, and I’m a freaking mess. I’m worthless, pitiful…”
So, I try to take care not to set expectations too high for people, yet give them some hope. It’s a fine line.
I’ve missed seeing your posts.Are you writing less frequently?
Yes, Diane, I am posting less frequently. I’ve got some other projects going, having to do with advocating for disabled people, which I will be writing about soon!
Mitch, you are such an inspiration to me. I too have MS & cherish the connections with those on the same journey. Thank you.
Jen, thanks for stopping by and dropping a note. I’m so glad that I’m able to provide you with a bit of a connection from someone on the same journey. It warms my heart to know that.
CONGRATS TO YOU MITCH…BIG TIME!!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS ABOVE AND SALUTE ALL OF US WHO FACE THE DAILY STRUGGLE WITH M/S. I WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED WITH R.R. FORM OF OUR NEMESIS IN 1965, WHICH MORPHED INTO THE S.P. FORM OF THE DISEASE IN 1988. I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ALL OF US KINDRED M/S SPIRITS WHO MUST FACE OUR COLLECTIVE ADVERSARY “ONE DAY AT A TIME!”
CHEERS FOR US ALL…
Jim, well said. Cheers for us all!
