That being said, however, I think things were meant to be; I'm so sick I wouldn't have been able to get things done and up on time. <br /><br />I think you did a beautiful job with your awareness piece. I had no idea your partner was diagnosed with MS; I view all autoimmune diseases (MS, Lyme, Lupus, etc.) as essentially the same so in a way I do understand how hard day to day life is. I admire you both for choosing to live in the now! That's something I'm definitely working on doing myself.Adaptable Kay https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057573235257128211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443605610590015121.post-44868037892995396262015-05-20T17:03:57.196+01:002015-05-20T17:03:57.196+01:00Beautiful story, I hope you now is for a very long...Beautiful story, I hope you now is for a very long time.

I was diagnosed with MS 28 years ago and am still going strong in spite of it. The thing that helped me most was doing things that I love every day and the most wonderful husband in the world who has taken on all the household stuff to enable me to do the rings I love with more energy. Best of luck in dealing with this unpredictable force--another friend spoke of it as "the unwanted gift." It really makes you conscious of setting priorities, and not accepting nonsense in your life. You are both in my thoughts and prayers--I hope you'll be as lucky as I have been.
