The Holidays are upon us and I want to let you know that I will be taking a break for the remainder of the year. Expect my blog posts to restart again early 2026. I will still be sparingly on Facebook and Twitter during this time. You can’t get rid of me entirely. (Grin)
I deserve this break and remember you deserve it too. I will be spending my time…
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year to all.
I’ll see you soon.
There’s nothing I hate more than multiple sclerosis. I could say liars, fake people, politics, bad punctuation, and people honking at me because I don’t drive fast enough… but those things just don’t come close to MS.
MS keeps me up at night. I toss and turn and even yawn all throughout the night but I don’t seem to sleep more than 2 hours at a time. It’s no wonder that I wake up exhausted. That’s not a productive sleep at all.
Because of MS my emotions seem to have a mind of their own and tend to go haywire without any provocation or reason. I have been known to cry without cause, laugh at seemingly sad moments, and forget what I’m doing while I’m doing it. That just adds to my crazy mixed up emotions.
I feel like a prisoner trapped in a dysfunctional broken body. Like I’m jailed up inside of myself without control over how my body will behave from one moment to the next. MS has taken over my life completely. So what am I to do?
Marilyn Monroe says it best. I never thought I would be quoting her.
This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soulmate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.
— Marilyn Monroe
Don’t worry about tomorrow. Live for today and be happy. It’s possible to do. Listen to Bobby McFerrin and let the song brighten your day. It always does for me. It makes me smile no matter what is happening.
1. Simplify your life.
