Today was a rough one physically. The MS symptoms are worse than usual. My legs and hips are in great pain, they're very stiff, and my knees and calves are extremely numb. Even still, I got out of bed (way too early thanks to you know who), we ate and stayed clean all day long. I even managed to do some laundry and cook dinner.
There are many out there with disabilities that can't say the same. There are many single moms out there who face more challenges than I. Can't we all say that? There's always someone out there who has it worse. That rings more positive than saying there's always someone out there who has it better. It's all about knowing how to count our blessings and being able to accept God's will for our lives.
With that said, here's why I'm thankful I have MS:
1. I get to stay at home with my little boy every day. This would not have been possible for us without my disability benefits.
2. I get handicapped parking spots - Legitimately!
3. Handicapped parking is FREE at airports no matter how long you park in short term. (Did you know that? Yes, it rocks.)
4. It's forcing me to eat supremely healthy right now which may very well prevent cancer later on.
With all the pain and challenges in my life, I wouldn't trade it for another. That's a good feeling.
