Libbi's MS Journey: I slipped and fell this morning
http://themonsterstory.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-slipped-and-fell-this-morning.html
A place for musings about life after Multiple Sclerosis. Slow-paced, not particularly fascinating, but still - it's life. Tuesday, August 25, 2009. I slipped and fell this morning. And then I thought: but isn't that a metaphor for life (at least my life)? Yep I screw up. Yep, sometimes screwing up causes pain. But I somehow manage to stand up, brush myself off, and move on (limping at times) with what needs to get done. So here's the challenge: can I focus on getting up rather than falling?

A place for musings about life after Multiple Sclerosis. Slow-paced, not particularly fascinating, but still - it's life. Thursday, December 27, 2007. This wasn't quite what I was thinking about posting here today, but my plans were altered by the news this morning of the assassination of Benazir. Bhutto in Pakistan. She was fifty-four years old. Today, I enter another decade of life as I find that I've somehow managed to survive sixty turns around the sun. It's my sixtieth birthday. Teetering on the edge.

Libbi's MS Journey: Why does my 'smart phone' make me feel so stupid?

A place for musings about life after Multiple Sclerosis. Slow-paced, not particularly fascinating, but still - it's life. Sunday, November 22, 2009. Why does my 'smart phone' make me feel so stupid? So we've been doing a bunch of technology-related stuff around our house for the past couple of weeks. My phone might be smart, but lately I'm feeling kinda dumb. Technology is always challenge for me. Hang in there learning takes time,. It has gotten a lot better! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A place for musings about life after Multiple Sclerosis. Slow-paced, not particularly fascinating, but still - it's life. Thursday, September 18, 2008. We had two apple trees on our property in California, and both produced prodigious amounts of fruit. I'd make pot after pot of applesauce which I'd freeze and then thaw in winter, when the taste of. Made from fresh-picked fruit was a real treat. We now have a sizable back yard (my friend Deb's mom told me it looks like a park! A gazillion, maybe more....

A place for musings about life after Multiple Sclerosis. Slow-paced, not particularly fascinating, but still - it's life. Thursday, January 22, 2009. A day of joy and celebration. This photo was taken at a dear friend's home, with the same people with whom we watched the election results on November 8, 2008. Struggles, because he both respects and believes in our Constitution. A man whose actions are consistent with his words, who (as we used to say in corporate-speak) 'walks the talk'. I turned 61 last ...

A place for musings about life after Multiple Sclerosis. Slow-paced, not particularly fascinating, but still - it's life. Thursday, November 22, 2007. The "Ladder of Abundance". Yeah, I know. Everyone blogger and his/her mother (at least in the US) is writing something about Thanksgiving today. So I'm not original. Big deal. Even when my climb out of the rat-hole seems impossible. My husband, whose unfailing love and support keep me going every day. David, I can't imagine life without you. My friends - h...

Make his breakfast, feed the cats, drive him to before-school day care, and set off on my own hour-long commute to work. Oh, and then work a full day. So Walks, you think? But you have MS, and haven't been able to walk much at all for years, right? It's slow going at the end of the walk, and I need to stop and rest at times, but dammit, I'm WALKING! To pay a...

A place for musings about life after Multiple Sclerosis. Slow-paced, not particularly fascinating, but still - it's life. Saturday, February 21, 2009. Read this blog for any length of time, you know that we adopted an elderly kitty in May, 2007. Caruso was fourteen years old when he joined our family, and was already in the beginning stages of kidney failure. But that didn't matter, because he and I bonded the very first time we saw each other (a good friend of mine claims that. Yesterday, I picked up a ...
