MS brings with it so much uncertainty. I thought this morning I would take a moment to look at what I have to be thankful for:
My children. Even though they're not with me, they are well cared for, happy, healthy and I have very regular contact. They can brighten up even the crappiest day, and watching them grow and learn is a pleasure and an honour.
Moving house. I am currently living in a hostel, but hopefully soon will have the good fortune to move to a council house that isn't up a couple of flights of stairs.
My parents and sister; despite rows, stress, worries and whatnot, they are always there for me. When it counts, I know I can count on them. I'm looking forward to spending time with them.
My partner; I am so thankful for him. As I type he is sleeping, I don't want to wake him just yet. He makes me so happy, the most wonderful, beautiful, kind and caring creature I have ever had the fortune to know, let alone call my own.
He leaves today. I'm dreading it. But I am looking forward to the day he can move over here, and when time together won't be punctuated with the sting of goodbyes.
I have a lot to look forward to, to be thankful for. If I were to believe in Karma, then realistically MS is a small price to pay, for what I have that brings happiness and joy.
