It is a test I am ready to face one day and I truly admire your attitude and approach as an example to others!

You have that inner depth too, my friend. You are inspiring.

We all have something in our lives that we have to deal with. It's a choice to think in a positive way. It lightens our load and frees us to live a more joyful life.

Of course no one wants to be diagnosed with any illness. I think we'd be crazy if we wanted to be diagnosed. But we have to learn to live with the hand we're dealt, and it took me a long time to make peace with a lot of health issues that were handed to me. It could be worse. It could be terminal. But it's not. So life is still delicious, and there's much to be thankful for. So I've decided to life a good life within the abilities I do have. And as many in the MS, and other health-related communities say, being positive goes a long way toward better health. That's a CHOICE that we all have to make.

It's always wonderful to look at any situation we are in and focus on the positives. It made me rethink a lot...and for that thank you!
