I was interviewed today about my faith and my MS. Interesting how much I have grown as a person. When I watched the preview of my interview, I was surprised at myself. My attitude and faith about this disease is very strong. I will not let this disease defeat me. If I let this disease defeat me, I will consider that a failure. Failing is not acceptable to me!

If I have tried to live my life to the fullest and do something new and different every single day I am alive, I will be happy that I have done the best I could possibly do.

I often think about how I have put my life on hold for 17 years because of this disease and I do have regrets. I try and not dwell on the regrets and I can only learn from them. I have goals and dreams to accomplish. I am working on improving myself for me. I have nothing to prove to anyone but me. We all need to have this attitude every single day that we can walk, breath, eat and think.

I read the other day that Annette Funciello – the actress whohas MS. She is now not able to walk or able to talk. She is struggling and fighting for her life every single day she is alive. I hope and pray I am not like that. I cannot imagine not being able to talk. That scares me. But once again, I do not dwell on this. I think positive, be creative and move foward every single day that I can.

My motto for today is = Be Inspiring
