Sometimes I wonder if this journey that I am currently on (MS) has anything to do with being busy in life. Let me explain. I used to think that the more busy I was I thought the better life was supposed to be. I kind of wonder if that is why I’m on this journey to begin with because I never would slow down and this is God’s way of saying slow down son. I’ve noticed that my muscles are getting more rigid as time goes on and that I have more challenges because of that. I do see a massage therapist weekly, but that’s just to get me through another week. I don’t have any complaints except I’m just not the same as I used to be. But I can find time to relax and take in the scenery from around me. Maybe smell the roses and watch the birds and squirrels fight over who gets the food in the feeder. I heard an interesting approach to MS this morning and it made sense to me. It was someone interviewing a Japanese elder who said that MS wasn’t too much of a problem there because they would feed the body what it was lacking: vitamin B. If they fed it enough, then the body would repair itself. He went on to say what myelin was; made out of vitamin B. So to produce more of it, the body needs vitamin B. It’s amazing that the last blood test I had a week ago showed the same results. You can bet I’m going to start making sure that my body is getting enough of the nutrients it’s looking for. Has anyone else heard of this? Please share. Blessings

I spent the latter part of the afternoon with our youngest daughter and went kayaking today with my rehab group. Wow did we have fun!! She had a chance to meet quite a few of the therapists and fit in on the conversation well. It was such a good experience and I’m looking forward to this weekend when both of our daughters and significant others will have the opportunity to go to the rehab facility and have lunch during their open house.

Fun take on old recipe. Added greens and mushrooms into my basic pasta dish. But I forgot the olives! 🫢

Now that we are sharing more about nutrition, I want to know what principles people follow, (if any). Might be low carb/high protein/vegan/vegetarian... Whatever you do, we want to know more about it.

This week's focus is all about focusing on progress, not perfection. When life gets in the way, you have to fight to get back into the things you know work for you.
