new thought to change

last time i managed to change my thoughts from angry to content.  i'm still practicing.  it's often easier said than done.

as i practice my mood changes, i'm making an even bigger change.  for years now, i've been praying for a strong, healthy body.  it finally dawned on me that while i am differently-able than typical humans, i AM a strong, healthy, able person!  this is a huge shift.  my prayers were answered long ago without my noticing.  i'm still looking forward to a miracle where MS is gone.  in the meantime, i will be spending more time focused on my current strong, healthy, able self.

wishing you thoughts that will change your world!

changing thoughts

Change your thoughts and you change your world. ...Norman Vincent Peale

this quote often confounds me, but tonight it worked!  i was crying over the 15th frustrating thing to happen to me.  i stopped for a second and asked myself, 'do i want to spend my time being angry or do i want to enjoy myself?'  the tears stopped abruptly and i looked at facebook to see how my friends are.  i've stopped to write this, then i've got bills to pay before i can look for more fun.  but the anger, frustration and sadness are gone!  at least for this moment my world feels okay, and living in the moment is what keeps me going.  i hope i can change my thoughts easily every time, but i think it will take practice.

give it a try!  see what you think.  best wishes and happy holidays!

tysabri, take 2

well, i'm disappointed. that extra energy i got from my 1st go around tysabri has not returned. three days after my initial dose in august of 2009, my energy was markedly better. i lost that when i switched to gilenya. now i've had 3 new doses and no benefit. is it slowing my progression? i hope so. it certainly isn't stopping it. but my neurologist agrees that tysabri is my best choice.

i try not to worry. i deal with each day as it comes, frustrating or not. i'm visualizing my fully able self.

i'm just starting to explore quantum physics. can i direct electrons from my source into the healthy version of me? it's worth a try. i'll keep you posted.
