This will be short and sweet, because my brain is full of thoughts, but they are fragmented and constantly being interrupted by other, new and looping thoughts.

There was a moment today ~ it seemed as though time had slowed down, the world had paused and it was just me, fighting my brain and trying to take action.  The mind is an incredible and powerful thing.

I was asked this afternoon what my motivation was in beginning a drug therapy for MS.  I blurted out my answer without even thinking, and realized as I said it, that with the development of my MS, I have stared my greatest fear directly in the eye, and decided I wouldn’t allow it to consume me, overwhelm me or conquer me.

That was part of my driving force today, as I sat frozen, battling my mind and my fear.  And when I was finally able to relax, I realized that not only did my mind control my action and inaction, but it created monsters bigger than the challenges I was facing.

I hope that in the dark moments that may come, the power of thought comes to my aid, and not as my foe.
