Yoga Rocks!

It has been a few days since i have done this. My lap top died and i have been trying to get my work newsletter out. I have been struggling with major writers block! Yoga rocks! I am feeling some muscles i forgot i had but i sure feel better. I am working hard on trying to take better care of myself. I don't understand the whole mind body connection thing but i feel better after i have "connected" with my body and focused on the moment....I will have to explore this Yoga thing further. Wonder if they have a yoga class for people and their dogs?????

Ralph and the light

Another hard night last night. Woke up at 2AM with a lot of pain...took some pills and rubbed Ralph's belly while we waited for them to work. Feeling better now that I am up and working, thank good for Provigal. I don't like the idea of having to take pills to have energy...heck I take pills for about everything these days!!! I guess I will do what I have to do to live my life.

I start Yoga tomorrow, a little nervous about that. I know the teacher and she is great and promises to help me on my journey to a healthy lifestyle. I pray the Yoga, eating better, and slowing down will help get this MS crap under control. I am getting sick of always feeling like poo!

Reminds me of a Ralph story:

After living in my new place for 4 months i figured out how to turn the ceiling fan light on with the switch on the wall. OK, i am not that slow, it was summer and honestly i usually was in bed before i needed to use the light! The first night i used the handy switch and lite up the living room, Ralph noticed the fan and fixture. He spent the night staring at the light growling and barking.....I told him it wasn't going to change and he should stop wasting his energy complaining about it.....we refocused him on a bone and he was a happy camper.

Maybe i should listen to my own advice....

It is what it is.....focus on the positive.

Vikings Nap

Thought i would write a quick note before i settle in for my Vikings nap...I have good intentions to watch the Vikings football games but always seem to miss the 2nd and 3rd quarters.....

My good friends Deb and Lara just left. It is always nice to visit with them, they are such positive people. If you want to live a positive life surround yourself with positive people!

We set this blog up as a way for me to "vent" and "express" what is happening in my life, the good the bad and the ugly....

I had a major restructuring in my life about 6 months ago, I found out i had MS, my then boyfriend and business partner left after i found out he wasn't doing what he was suppose to be doing in the business and it was basically failing. I lost my home since it was tied to the business and i will likely have to file bankruptcy after all the dust settles.

I believe that things happen for a reason. Prior to that time in my life i kept praying for clarity and direction from God, sometimes God needs to knock you on your butt before you start listening! I certainly have more clarity in my life now.

I know what my priorities are and who my friends are i have found a peace with myself that i have never had before and for that i am very thankful.

You will find if you read this blog that i have good days and bad days, this MS stuff is not fun to deal with especially when you are a single parent with a crazy dog.

Oh ya....the crazy dog...Ralph. Ralph is a blessing and a curse as you will see.

Vikings nap is calling.

White Chocolate Coconut

It is a frigidly cold day and Angela has taken the time to make up some coffee with white chocolate coconut creamer for Lara and Deb....well not really for Deb being as she does not drink coffee...so Deb is providing coffee with white chocolate coconut creamer support to Lara as she sips the lovely drink.

Ralph is roaming around the kitchen looking for love and attention....and possibly snacks...

...because he didn't find any snacks he is now scratching the hell out of the love seat...and staring...at me, Lara, the writer of the post...nervous feelings for me...
