There are a few things I’d like to happen in 2019 besides happiness and health. I’d love a cure for multiple sclerosis but I’m a realist so my vision board needs to be too. My handicap van. This is still not a certainty because of funding but it is number one on my vision board out of necessity. My finances. To be debt free and have a surplus in the bank. My weight perception. I’d like to be healthy and…
Wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of my readers. I started this blog without a clue of what I wanted to say and certainly who would ever want to read it. Yet people showed up, read it and commented and helped make it what it became. I can’t thank you all enough. I never expected blogging to be such a rewarding and cathartic experience. I wish everyone a very Happy Holiday filed with family, laughter…
I love the quiet of the mornings and watching the sun sparkle off of the moving water. My daughter is home for the weekend and she’s happy, loves her school, it is all I wanted for her to experience. Even with my severe fatigue this week, I’ve swam in the pool and have a new appreciation for the repetitive nature of the exercise. I love my condo. This place was made for me from accessibility to my view. I am…
I’ve been a little sad lately. I’d love to answer I know why but I don’t even know. I just know I feel a little off, a little down, and just not my normal self. I can’t wrap myself up in my spiritual studies well. I haven’t been meditating. My morning affirmations have been difficult. I knew I needed a blog today about things I’m grateful for instead of things that are absent. My daughter’s birthday is on Sunday, she’s…
Good morning. I’d love to say I’m sending you this from sunny Saugerties but unfortunately it’s rainy out and dreary. That’s ok I don’t mind. I’m with my family having a great time. We played Taboo last night. If you never played, it’s a game of teams where you have to get your teammates to guess the word on the card without saying specific, or taboo, words. It was a riot. I wanted to say something to all my email…
I found out last night, an old friend has cancer. It started as breast cancer and has spread to her bones. This is a woman I use to work with. She has the greatest sense of humor and her laugh is contagious. Life is very unfair sometimes. After I spoke with her, I was taking my dogs outside to their little dog run, and as I sat on my chairlift going down, I was grateful. I know that sounds horrible,…
A few weeks ago my daughter and I got matching tattoos. This was a promise I made to her years ago before she was legal to get a tattoo. Our last name is Star so we got the stars on our wrist. Black for me, blue for her, intertwined in the ribbon. The tattoo needs something else but we’ll figure that out and add it at a later date. When I told my sister she said, “yuck but you two are…
Thanksgiving. Today is a wonderful day to give thanks for the amazing things you have in your life. Big or small there is something that keeps you motivated and moving everyday. My blog is mostly about multiple sclerosis but there is so much more to my life than my disease and I have so many things that I’m so thankful for. I am so grateful for meeting my ex-husband. For marrying him because through him I received my daughter and…
I never commented on this picture yesterday. I found this on a U2’s website written in Bono’s handwriting but signed by Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry. I don’t know if it’s going to be a new song or if it was just something they were doodling but it was so fitting and they’re my favorite. Yesterday I wrote to my coach before I spoke to her and asked her to read my blog. I received an email that simply said…
My poor daughter she gets the backlash of my mood swings so often. I woke up today on the wrong side of the bed. It wasn’t even because I knew the outcome of our next president either. I would never go online, check emails or even pick up my iPad before reading my course of miracle workbook. I just had a bad nights sleep and I was cranky. Being that I was up most of the night, I know my…
