Brilliant!

This is a brilliant piece. It is wonderfully written and doesn't just apply to us folks with MS.

There's a little for everybody in this. Thank you. I have shared in on FB.

Ditto, Mouse! And thanks to Kelly for writing this, and to Dave for posting it.... It's all in how we choose to see things, right?

Thank you, Kelly and Dave. This really resonates with me. For C, I've also added choice because I often find when I hit a difficult patch (such as this afternoon climbing my stairs to the pool), that it helps to say to myself that I'm choosing to do this. For A, I've also added action.

Well said and spot on as usual Kelly, love it.

Being recently diagnosed, this article describes exactly how I have been thinking. I have had to adapt many things I do, but I CAN still do them. Great article. Thanks for posting it.
