It's important to express my darker days. I'm not super human and have some sad times. When I can't walk to the kitchen because of spasticity, when my left hand and arm won't do what I ask them to do, when my left foot sluffs and catches on the door sill, when my voice is having a slurry day and a receptionist can't understand me, when I can't pick up something that has fallen, when I notice new muscle atrophy on my legs, when a new symptom appears and reminds me of my fragile longevity, when I'm feeling fatigued and don't seem to care about anything, when I'm grieving the loss of better times--these things and more will bring me to tears. I mope for awhile. It may be minutes, hours, or a slump that lasts a few days. The best part is how much I learn from these events and my ability to focus on the positive and bounce back. My friends, family, counsellor, life experiences, all give me skills to navigate through the dark days and back into the sunshine. Today I'm in the sunshine.
