I can't believe it, its been a decade

I decided to pick up blogging again for myself more than anything else. I've been reflecting a lot on the past ten years. Birthdays, New Years and anniversaries are kinda funny like that, spending time thinking about the past year; the good, bad, regrets, memories. So here it is.

A friend asked me about this time last year if I wished I never had MS. I looked at him and I answered, honestly, no. I told him if I could change anything, it would be that I didn't see a neurologist for eight years that I hated. I don't know that I'll ever forget that conversation, it is funny how I used to trust my doctor with controlling my disease.

And how unhappy I used to be because I had MS.

And how never told anyone growing up, like it was such a dirty secret.

And how scared I used to be thinking about the future.

Somewhere along the way I decided to take control of the situation and stop letting it control me. I like the person I've become once I made that decision and I'm so so glad I found the BTD because that topped it off. I'm so grateful I have MS because of the person its helped me become and I'm so grateful for my diet and all that has helped me accomplish in my life!
