Kinda dreary weekend

This weekend I have been feeling sorry for myself. Sorry that I have MS, sorry that my husband is out of work and sorry that we therefore can't even contemplate travelling south to California for my 'liberation' procedure. I received a forwarded email from a lady I know from a friend of hers who has this week returned from California after treatment. By all accounts, it was a wonderful experience for her and she feels well and truly liberated.

The email has inspired me to 'Just DO it' and go ahead and see what I can do for myself to go for the procedure myself. I am therefore making plans to start looking into fundraising. I have always been resistant to the idea because I don't like bothering people to ask for anything but I figure with my legs getting worse in the last few months, I really don't have anything to lose but I do hopefully have a whole lot to gain.

Therefore, I am in the process of figuring out how I am going to do this but I am indeed, going to give it a go!

Stay tuned and please wish me luck :) Thank you

It's been a while!

Well, 2011 has arrived and with it, a new attitude to how things are in my life. An ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE is my new approach. 2010 didn't turn out the way we were hoping, infact it was downright miserable so we have changed our attitude and are looking forward to a year of good things.

First off, Ty is going flat out to get the house renovations finished so we can get it on the market. Really, that is our main goal for this year, the end result being a trip to California for me to get LIBERATED from M.S. Chaos ensues all around us and the kids and I can't wait for spring so we can start getting out of the house more. Snow and spasticity in the legs are not a good combination and I have no intention of taking another fall , even though the snow may well cushion me as I tumble!

This week we are looking forward to a trip to the city to watch a film that our youngest is in. Can't wait.

I vow to write more this year to show my attitude of gratitude. Today I am grateful to find that my blog hasn't been deleted ;)
