Off To a Slow Start

Yes I am off to a slow start this year courtesy of my MS. If you know anything about MS I believe that I am experiencing an MS attack or better known as in the MS community as exacerbations. Hopefully I will know for sure before the week is out.

There is an MS saying which has helped me to develop a philosophy of living with Multiple Sclerosis and it is simply this MS does not define who I am. I am certain that this mindset has played a role as to why I don’t share my MS side of life with you. Having said all of that I simply want to say Happy New Year.

If you feel like you’re off to a slow start this year rest assured I can tell you that some new year’s resolutions will be kept and some will not and changes will be made. There will be set backs, false starts and decisions that will need to be made… it is called life. So don’t dwell on the negative things.

As you embark upon the New Year remember to surround yourself with positive people, savor each moment of everyday and make a commitment to help others, by doing so you will end up helping yourself. There are many organizations that need your help so get involved in a cause and learn the true meaning of forgiveness.

I can’t wait to get back up on my feet and embrace 2013!

A Winter Beach Stroll

A few days ago I experienced strolling on an East Coast beach with my husband in the dead of winter, what a truly exhilarating first time experience. This winter beach stroll on the Eastern shore of Maryland was my first new experience of 2011. And I can’t help thinking about what other first time experiences this New Year holds for me.

To those of you who started the New Year with your new year’s resolution in hand, I would like to share with you some things that you might like to consider adding to your list…

1. Trust your instincts.
2. Believe that all things are possible.
3. Open yourself up to those in need.
4. Have as many impromptu moments as your life can hold.
5. Vow to experience and try new things.
6. Stop wondering about what’s to come.
7. Take one day at a time.
8. Pray and meditate often.

As you begin to embrace this New Year I hope that you will resolve in your own way to simply live life and to experience it NOW!
