    It's so good to hear you feeling so positive about life, Adrian.  I can really relate to not having a social life.  I've become somewhat of a hermit myself.  By the time I've gotten ready to go out, I'm often too exhausted to actually go. 

     

    Like you, I'm trying to do something about that.  I, too, am venturing out this week – to a Bible study Thursday evening.  Actually I'm planning to go to this study every week.  This is a really big step for me since I haven't committed to going out for anything on a regular basis in a very long time. 

     

    I hope you have a wonderful time at your Classic Car cruise-in tonight!  I'm looking forward to hearing how it went.

    Thank you Karen, as I am growing here this is one issue that I hear about from many .. as we spend a better part of our time searching for comfort , and all the joy seems to dissapate  ..

     

    We often think we cannot any longer fit in it , so often people write about being too tired and too much in pain .. so you become accustomed to thinking , "I cannot" ..

     

    Well, I wish you a night filled with peace , as you venture out also, and Bible study group very well may be your ticket out of that pattern that often holds us back from growing into a new life ..

     

    Be well .. agserra

    Hi Adrian,

    You are an inspiration to me.  The phrase "never give up" on life, on anything comes to mind.  A social life?  What's that?  My body mostly gives up by 3 o'clock in the afternoon but you never know when on a good day it could happen.  I wish I could make a plan for an event in the evening and know I could do it.

     

    Thank you for sharing your difficulties of MS.
