MS Monday

I have decided to be thankful that MS came into my life.  YES, I know!  WHY would a want to thank something that limits my activities, makes it hard to think of common words, and could leave me crippled later in life????

Well . . .

I'm thankful for MS for teaching me to stop and enjoy the small things in life.  I don't think I would have enjoyed the cuddles from my girls as much as I do now!  I would enjoy the walks we take, the hugs, the hand holding.  I wouldn't enjoy the basics of life, such as cooking, weeding the garden, and laughing like I do now!

So yes, for this week, I will say that I'm actually thankful this MonSter came into my life!

Our flowers are in full bloom this week!  I love walking around the yard and seeing the blooms, like old friends who have come for a visit!

Walk MS

Team No MS'ing "Round

I was asked to be a Team Captain this year for the MS Walk in my Home Town.  I decided to accept the request and went about asking people to walk or make a donation.  We ended up with at least 21 walkers - the final numbers aren't in.  I know that there were at least 9 people who were at the walk who are not pictured above.

My Team is currently in first place!  Now, I have some goals for next year . . . let's see if we can make this an annual tradition!

How awesome a group of Friends and Family?  

The best part - the rain held off until after we finished our walk!
