Eskie's siggy: "There is no VALUE in life except what you CHOOSE to PLACE upon it
and no HAPPINESS in anyplace except what you BRING to it yourself. --- Henry David Thoreau"

When I read what you wrote I was feeling gratitude and then I saw your signature and that just about sums it up as far as how I'm feeling about all this. It could have been so much worse for me, with the lifestyle I used to lead. There's someone in my homegroup who was feeling out of it and went to the doc. He was told his liver is shot and he has Hep C. He's coming up on 2 years sober. MS wasn't caused by my old lifestyle, the old terrible choices I made. It just happened. And it's so liveable compaired to so many other things I could have been afflicted with. I feel so blessed that I've CHOSEN to make the best of this, to find the good in this, to stay HAPPY. I know that my body would not be doing so well without the influence of my mind and spirit. I have absolutely no doubt that without my faith, my wonderful friends and THIS PLACE, I would have lost my mind and only seen the negative in this situation. To be able to come here and play in the fun chat forum, or post about keeping the weight down, or update in general has kept me company these past two weeks that I have been letting this sink in without being able to work. I love Psych Central!!!!!
