I wondered what this entry would be like when I wrote 5 Years Ago Today. Now I'm here and the sentiments expressed in that blog entry are just as true today as they were in 2008.
It's been ten years since I was officially diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Even though I was diagnosed on Friday 13th, I decided my life with this disease wouldn't give credence to that dark omen.
I can honestly say that I am now internally happier, healthier, more positive, more determined, and ever more thankful. I've been given many gifts.
The initial nudge I received from the Divine has most certainly come true. The prompting I received ten years ago was this:
The definition of "body", for me, has always included the mind and soul.
The only real struggle I have really had over these last ten years has been understanding what it means to be "as blessed as you need to be."
I am pretty sure I will spend the rest of my life coming to understand this concept a little better. Maybe I might even understand it by the time I meet my Maker. Until then, I strive to continue to make my body as healthy as it can be.
At this point, I would like to inform my readers that I currently have my water bottle raised in the gesture of a toast (grin). Cheers! We are all very blessed people. The most important thing I wish everyone to know is that God loves us and knows us. You are beautiful just as you are.
