Spark

Sometimes I see a shower of mini lightning bolts. Imagine someone threw a bag of cosmic tinsel in the air and tiny bits of silver float down like silver feathers. Other people can be quick to jump to the pitying mode, the "MS Sufferer" mentality - and don't get me wrong sometimes I wear that hat too -- there are definitely challenges -- but Diane and I were chatting and she brought up a good point. The "Suffering" part can be a choice. There are challenges for us all. Of course, life without MS would be nice. You can substitute the initials MS for almost anything --stress, debt, cancer, depression, you name it. Rising to the good fight means striving for grace even when life serves you with a bowl of pits instead of cherries. It is a moving target but sometimes we can see art, even in "disability."
