Every day is filled with new and old blessings. They can be mundane or memorable. Sometimes when my MS is on a bend, I feel sad or hopeless, but I have my legs and they work. Eventually, the numbness will leave and I'll be able to walk again. There are many that wish they could walk, or even have legs. We need to take each blessing as they are tailored to us in individual ways. Cherish them, for only we can appreciate them. If times seem dark, know that it won't last forever. Find what keeps you strong and grateful, whether it is religion, spirituality, or a positive mindset. Some find ways to fight for themselves, and others find it easier to fight for someone else. Either way, tomorrow will come. Make it worth it.

Oh, how blessed we are!
What gifts we hold in our lives.
The warmth of a hug,
the sound of music playing,
the scent of freshly cut flowers...
each a blessing in its own right.
A bounty of pleasures,
each one adding to the experience of life.
How lucky are we to be alive.
To be sane,
to be healthy.
Thank you, Lord,
you have bestowed these upon me.
I try to share these blessings with others,
to spread the grace that fills me.
Your guidance and light have been a boon to me,
guiding me through the darkness with ease.
As mother always says,
You don't know give us more than we can handle.
I have the strength within me to climb
and overcome anything life brings me.
Please give me your benediction,
and I'll keep walking on.
