My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 021122

Good Morning, Possums, from the Celebrity Suite of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek. Today is Friday, February 11.

Happy Birthday to:

It’s finally Friday. It’s going to be sunny and 75 degrees in Big D today. It’s the end of the work week! The beginning of the weekend. And….today is PLEX. My body has been yelling at me since Wednesday. I hope the lack of PLEX is why. I’ll know by 4pm for sure.

So I have been thinking - does anyone belong to an online group? I belong to a few for Multiple Sclerosis (because the first place anyone goes for anything these days is the internets, but I digress). And while I have had a few helpful conversations with people, I have found them to be more depressing than helpful. Maybe they serve as more of an outlet for people - searching for answers to questions - anyone with the same problems or symptoms - and I get that. I do.

But lately, it’s been more depressing to read them than join and contribute to conversations. Maybe they serve a purpose that I don’t get. Are the few helpful conversations I have had worth it? I find more support, help and comfort from my family and friends so I think I will stick with them for now and give the online groups a break.

Do online groups work?

Busy weekend ahead - PLEX this afternoon (which will wipe me out until tomorrow), a trip to the Boardroom for a trim and a shave, get my claws and hooves tended too (mani/pedi), church on Sunday and Mom and Dad arrive Sunday evening. I can’t wait for them to get here.

What’s on your schedule today/the weekend?

Anyhoozle, I hope you all have a wonderful day and whatever you do today and every day, do it with kindness in your heart. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one! And as always:

...wear a mask
...be kind and compassionate to one another
...dance/sing/laugh it out. It might not help but it sure as hell couldn't hurt.

Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ
