I feel fortunate compared to the news some of my writing sisters have received lately.<br /><br />That's one reason I love to meet and hang with my online blog buddies.

What may seem like a stumble now might in fact be allowing you to leap over a lot of bad stuff. I know you have the courage, spirit and strength needed to plod on and emerge the victor!

Needless to say, I'm still trudging, though it's hard to figure out if roadblocks or as I call them, interruptions, are something we should overcome or God's way of steering us back on the right path. It's something I'm still trying to figure out, hope you're on the right path and get the help you new to overcome this physical roadblock.Gina Conroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647753231391009981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33170374.post-69585127388923794202009-10-29T14:10:42.323-05:002009-10-29T14:10:42.323-05:00Chelle,

I felt the same way when I was diagnosed with MS and continue to have my moments now years later. I beat myself up because the pain, fatigue and numbness affects the pursuit of my dream to write consistently. But everyday, I pray and thank God for what I have and what I CAN do. Be patient with yourself and be open to receiving the treatment you need, even the pills. I take about 20 pills a day but the regimen keeps me going.Angela Jeffersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00904101837640867493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33170374.post-9112426989387599532009-10-29T13:09:14.576-05:002009-10-29T13:09:14.576-05:00Oh Chelle, I'm so sorry you're going throu...Oh Chelle, I'm so sorry you're going through this.

It's how you move on that matters. And like Jennifer said, it shapes us. :)<br /><br />I prayed for direction and I'm assuming this is the answer. :)<br /><br />Natalie ~ I know how your mom feels. :) I have my good days and bad. Certain things are known for setting it off and you quickly learn how to adjust.
