Thanks Gwynn,

Appreciate the good wishes, consider them happily returned back to you.

I've been in a massive state of depression and haven't been following through with my lessons. Time to go back to the beginning and start over. That's the wonderful thing here, we can always go back through the lessons and apply what we learned and move forward.

Yes it is a wonderful place to find support. We are not alone in our journey and someone is always there to bring us up when we are at our lowest.

Looking forward to watching your success.

Hugs,

Brenda

Hear Hear Brenda. this is a wonderful place to find support. Hope you will feel better and kick that depression to the curb far away from you. Success to you.

It all depends on NOT QUITTING! The only real rule!

I has been a wonderful place for me. I'm not making much progress with the websites, but when you don't work on them for days, what do you expect. The friendships I have here helps more with the depression than anything else I've found.

It's a good place to be and believe there are a lot of us who can't work through no fault of our own!

Welcome to the family.

I have to admit, even with my IT background, Wordpress is giving my a hard time, setting up my pages properly.

I hear you there. I broke mine. Not my sites, but my backup plugin. It seems if you don't have traffic, the wp-cron can shutdown.

But I must just remember that I'm having fun. It's not like I can go out dancing!

I've been out of the computer force since my layoff in 2004/5 can't remember. Then 5 years with Avon, and out of the work force since 2009 when I got the MS diagnosis. To say my skills are rusty would be an understatement. Boy have things changed.

So glad I found WA. I'm just trying everything I can to feel like I can still contribute. Focus on the little things. I can still walk and when my eyes cooperate drive. Other than that, mind wants, but body has other plans!

So what part of the IT were you in? I just read your profile. Database for small business. I'm assuming you are more versed in the PC side of the house? I am planning to convert my old laptop to Mint linux. It won't run Win 7 so it's a paperweight right now.

That will be a whole 'nuther can of worms for sure. Sounds like fun.

Yep, when you feel you are at the end of your rope, I'll do my best to encourage you. However, when I'm ready to throw in the towel, I expect the same in return.

Best of luck and we'll talk soon I'm sure.

Brenda

Keeping positive is really the only thing we can do. Sometimes it's hard to remember to focus on the fact I can still walk, get dressed, and function and not the things my body will no longer do. Then I came to WA and get "recharged". Glad you found us.

Yep, its good to keep a good positive attitude, dwelling on things is not useful.

What is it they say? That which does not kill us makes us stronger. Using that thought, I should be able to bench press 1,000 lbs. HAHAHA

I get reminded here on a regular basis how strong I actually am. Welcome to the family!

We can attribute that quote to Mr. Sunshine, Nietzsche.

Kind of you to say, but I'm a newbie! Together with the help of WA, we'll all get there!

There are a lot of us, aren't there? I felt so alone at first, now I'm amazed by the number of people that are all around me. I have learned to use it. Now when I do something really stupid, crazy, or just insane, I blame it on the MS. Now I can admit to you, sometimes I'm aware and just using it as an excuse, but let someone prove it! Have fun with it. We're stuck with it might as well enjoy it.

All the best to you on your business.

Thank you for the kind words.

I'm sure we will bump into each other around the WA community.

I just keep telling myself, I can do this, damn the MS! Full speed ahead.

Disability sucks, never enough money to go around. Here we have the potential to make changes in our lives.

Onward and upward!

That's right! You can do this! And, I am certain I can too! You have a disability so much worse than mine, and I will defint, itely pray for you! God does wonders, and sometimes people don't even know it, until they figure it out later on. I know about the money situation too! I was divorced when I had those back surgeries, trying to raise my two kids, and trying to live on $600 a month! I got a little help from the Family and Children Services here, but not near enough! Now, my kids are grown and married with families of there own, and doing so great! I am so proud of them! They had a Dad who was not around that much, and did not contribute to their welfare like he should have. All that is now in the past, and I guess I did a good job with my kids, cause they are so wonderful, and they love me, and I am just crazy about them! And my grandsons, 2 of them, and 1 granddaughter from my daughter. She is 3-1/2 months old. And, what really gets me, and makes me proud, is that they want to help me! But, I am just fine, I am married now, and very happily at that! I finally found somebody that does not just think about himself! My kids are so glad I am happy. Well, sorry, I know I went on and on about my kids and all, but am a very proud parent! I do wish you all the very best in health that I can, and I WILL pray for you! Know this is very long, but I feel we have something in common. Please, talk to me anytime you want, and I promise I won't be talking about my kids, or family, unless you want to! I want to know about you and your family! Sorry this is late getting back to you, but I have been busy working with my husband and is hard sometimes to keep up with things. Hope you have wonderful and pain-free days ahead, and of course, healing!

Understand about the time issue. My disability really isn't all that bad, it just has it moments. Can't hold down a job because we never know when that "brick wall" will be hit. Sure makes it easy to be "lazy" so I have to watch out for that.

Don't apologize for going on about your family. I've made lots of mistakes and not sure if things will ever work out with my son, so I enjoy hearing about the success of others.

To our mutual success with WA!

I have several people who are helping with the health/nutrition, but I will keep you in mind as well. Thanks. Best wishes to you.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I'm having some many problems that can be quickly fixed by someone asking why I didn't do the obvious.

Be blessed!

Anytime!

Thanks for the twitter follow as well.

Welcome. We all have to take things in stride and move on I guess. You just made me realize it has been five years (Aug) since my diagnosis.

With that time frame in mind, I've come a long ways. Most importantly was probably finding WA coming up on six months, so I guess I better get it in gear. I've made a lot of progress, but so much more needs to be done.

Lets make a pact to help each other. Course that's the way it is around here. Helping each other at every turn. Thanks so much for the feedback on my sites. Now that people are starting to look, I better get moving and get t hem updated, huh?

Thanks for the compliment. However the MS has scrambled my brain. Some days I believe I still have a brain, others I'm not so sure. I'll try to remember what you said the next time my brain decides to go AWOL on me!

Thanks. Yep 6 months and I've been having fun, but not really staying on track. Oh well, I've got the rest of my life!! I've met a lot of nice people and gotten alot of "atta girls" so it's all good.

My only advise would be start the lessons, read ahead if you must, but finish each lesson and do your homework. Be careful when you get answers to your questions b/c no one knows what lesson you are on. The question you are asking will most likely be answered within the next 3-4 lessons. (Been my experience anyway) Never be afraid to ask questions. Many time when I was ready to ask, someone else did. That taught me, there's always someone else with the same question.

Enjoy the ride! Prepare for info overload! Trust Kyle and Carson. They really do know what they are doing.

MS can be a lot of fun if you use it correctly! You always have an excuse for any and every stupid thing you do.

Thanks. I would appreciate your input on my sites. Please take into consideration when you do, I've been pretty "slack" out the work. In and out of MS, looks like I'm back into the down side, but I'll be back. Just like the Terminator!

Thank you. I'll put Pow Toon on the "BLOB todo list" I swear my todo list has a mind of it's own and is being extremely fruitful in it multiplication.

Just keep plodding along and it will all make sense! Yeah I'm a dreamer.

Don't forget to check my other message!

Thanks for the follow. I'm following you back. Welcome and yes the people here are awesume! Someone is always on and ready to help at all hours. We are international, so it's 5:00 somewhere. Best wishes to you.

Thank you. I'm feeling better about a lot of things in my life. Most of this I owe to the wonderful people at WA. Welcome and all the best to you in your endeavors.

Why thank you. I'm just stubborn! Always worked for everything I wanted and I'm too dang old to change now!

Sure am. Thanks.

Thanks. I'm just putting one foot in front of the other. Time to serious about getting to work for sure. I should be farther along at this time. Got to play a little "catch up".

Yep there's a lot here. Good training.

Thanks. I will overcome SOMEDAY maybe in my next lifetime. I move slow like the tortoise in the race with the rabbit. Remember who won.

I have a sister in law with the same diagnosis. We just keep hoping that modern science will come up with a cure. I am sure you will win this race.

Yes we will win this race. Not in record time, but we will finish!

Thanks. Same back attcha

Thanks Nathalie
Yes it is a wonderful place and what I've been searching for a long time. Feel like I've finally come home.

Thanks but I'm having weight problems and don't think I'd fit. But thanks for the laugh. Love those unexpected laughs. Makes me feel alive.

Thanks. With all the support I have, I know I can not fail, unless of course I quit and I'm not gonna do that.

I've been exposed to the Law of Attraction and believe in the entire concept. I've just been lax and lazy. Time to pull myself up by my bootstraps (oh wait, I wear flip flops now because I can't put shoes on) and get back to work.

Thanks for your kind words, Brenda. It is all about feeling good that is the most important thing. I love that! Hugs

Thanks and best wishes back to you as well.

Thanks

Thanks and I'm sure we can.

Thank you. I'm still trying. Work In Progress is my new lifestyle.

I have a bad habit of being friendly and liking to talk. At least on the internet, I don't have to worry about someone telling me to shut up. They just delete my post and I never know!!

Since I don't remember adding anything, it must be part of the theme.

This is the place to be. I love it, NEED to share (ask the family members that are still talking to me) it's a wonderful place.

I see on your profile you perfer the holistic way. I'm trying to get my niece to sign up for WA and put up a website. She does a LOT of research on things. She has multiple health issues, Celiac, crohns, among others. My sister has digestive problems and I have MS so there is a lot of research.

When you get your site started, I'm going to share the link with her. It might be the final things that convinces her to join. Perhaps the two of you can share your holistic information.

I don't have any medical background so I have a hard time understanding what I have to know to keep my MS in check. I see all these possibilities for website subjects, but don't understand what I'm reading so I can't put it together.

Thanks. Back attcha

Thanks.
