I’ve got a vacation hangover,  which, despite how it may sound has nothing to do with alcohol. I was on such a glowing, natural high over my 4th of July holiday.  My partner in crime (hubby Craig) and I loaded up the car headed to Prescott. WOW! We stayed at a mountaintop cabin, where Mother Nature entertained us with her symphony of bird songs and canvas of incredible vistas.  The only thing that could be heard above the bird chirps was the click of my camera. I could not stop taking pictures of the birds nibbling at the feeders. We even had a special visitor one morning, a deer.

Fast forward the clock; and it’s back to reality; I’m writing to you at café on lunch break at work.  I’m not on vacation anymore and neither is my Multiple Sclerosis.  For some reason, I woke up depressed, which is nothing new for an MSer or anyone else coming off a vacation hangover.  Do you ever feel that way?

This life is a FIGHT but I am determined to win. I fight to be happy every day. MS has taken a lot from me but I’m not letting it steal my happiness or my gratitude. I have a lot to be thankful for! I have my vision. I can walk. I have so many great people who love me, including my amazing husband!!! (Triple exclamation points for this guy.)  Tonight I am going to one of my MS Support group meetings and I’m very happy Craig is coming with me.  I know the meeting will help cure my vacation hangover.
