Well, the news for my friend with MS keeps getting worse. Ever notice that no matter how bad things are in your life, someone else has things worse and you feel kind of humbled to think you have it so bad? Ended May with my grandson's 5th birthday party. Think with the gas prices we may not be going there for a while. Walked about 12 blocks round trip to get a paper today. Glad I could walk. No sense taking the car. Had to go slow and stop a few times to catch my breath, but I did it! Maybe the bonus will be even though the increase in prednisone puts on weight, my refusal to drive for short trips and walk instead will help me lose wieght. Still trying to always look at the good in things instead of dwealing on the negative. Better go and sit outside while it is still warm enough today. Love watching the birds. Can't find spell check. Oops.
Wow, can't believe a year has went by. Haven't come to the site until my friend called and said she has MS. Didn't know where to turn. I want to be there for her as much as I can. My news isn't any better. Have lost 10% more lung function just since the end of January. Dr. bumped up the prednisone and hopes I can get it back (me too). Explains why I have been feeling more and more tired from any activity. Husband has been working in another town 3 hours away for yet another year. Seem to be getting used to him only home on the week ends and that is not a good thing. Trying to find something here, but no luck yet. Trying to focus on what I have instead of what I don't have. Make two colomns and the plus side is much longer than the minus. Finally got something from the doctor for the panic and anxiety. Tired of the feeling. He said when I get short of breath it may be the sarc instead of the asthma. Said if the rescue inhaler doesn't help than it is the sarc. Didn't ask him how much worse that will get. Too afraid to hear the answer. For now I will continue to enjoy the times I get to spend with my grandchildren, my husband, and just enjoying life. I had a great mother's day. Was at the dinner table with my 7 and 5 year old grand kids and felt someones foot touching me. Asked who was playing footies with me under the table and my 5 year old grandson said "we both are grandma because we both love you so much." Tell me that wouldn't make your day. I know we all have problems, but life has many things for us to experience and they may not all be good but it makes the good that much better. Felt good to write. Will try to do this more often and with as much positive energy as I can.

I have been keeping positive thoughts all week that my husband will get the job and today he got the call for the interview next week. Now I will keep the positive thoughts going and picture him getting the job. Any positive thoughts in my direction couldn't hurt. Have a great Memorial Day week end.

What a lovely Mother's Day memory! Thank you for sharing. My husband and I drove to a town called Orangeburg here in SC and dined on barbeque and hash. A long trip from my hometown just for "Q", but enjoyed the road trip! God bless!
