Move It...Move It

I just got back from 4 days of staying at a relative's house. My cousin had flown in from California to be with her sister and parents (who live within a mile of each other, very cozy family). This cousin has MS, which she developed at age 30 - she has been in a wheelchair for many, many years.

With MS it's more than being in a wheelchair because she can't move her legs...she has to take drugs to prevent spasms... which of course has side effects that does things to her eyes which makes it difficult for her to read...

Long story short...living in a wheel chair is no fun whatsoever.

And the moral of the story...if you can move... get up and move! Go for a half hour walk, or a bike ride, or a job. Play tennis. Go swimming.

You're free...appreciate that feeling.
