Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow.
-Alice Mackenzie Swaim
I am a smart woman ~ not something I can control but the result of good genes....this is relevant because I have recently found myself having trouble staying on task. I get very easily distracted. Almost to the point of being dangerous....completing assignments is sometimes insurmountable. Certainly paying bills can overwhelm to the point of pure exhaustion.
I feel horrible for not being responsible but am unable to change my actions despite my desire to do so.
This is the worst part of MS; it steals from us daily and we are powerless to change the course of our fate. (By "us" I also mean that it robs from the caregivers, loved ones, family and employers too.....)
******Mom, don't worry I AM NOT depressed but am merely staying true to being honest about my illness.

I know what you mean, but I've also noticed that some "things" don't stay or at least aren't so bad ALL the time. Some days I buzz about full of energy...other days it's stay in bed day. Still the guilt... But there was a time I was fuzzy. Lately I've been clearer...so take heart.

Christina,
Beautiful, what you wrote is really beautiful. Certain smells that are familiar to us enter our nasal cavity,then they meet up with receptors which are located in the nose. The receptors are specialized in such a way that certain reactors react to certain smells.
These receptors then convert the presence of a smell into a message which is sent to the olfactory bulb and the process the smell into some distant memories, for instance from childhood, which might only be recalled by smell. This is comforting to us. Love LuAnne

I believe that if you are honest with yourself you will be more apt to handle what comes your way. You are an incredible person. {{{{{Hugs, my friend}}}}}
