"GRATITUDE FOR WHAT WE HAVE - !In June of last year, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. In fact, I spent a couple of hours of my 30th birthday in an MRI machine! (not exactly how I thought my 30th would go!) ...My recent experience of being diagnosed with MS has given me a deeper understanding of gratitude. Some of you may think that how can she be grateful she just got this terrible diagnosis, I am not. I am grateful because it wasn’t something worse and believe it or not it is helping me to be a better person… I am more grateful for touch, grateful for every day that I can walk and take care of my children. I am grateful for how this experience is helping me to be a better person, I think that I have become more spiritual, maybe more caring and understanding of others. We are all in this together, and it is nice to know that I am not alone! "
