Hey, Rob; I cant type very much right now , but just wanted to say I really enjoyed your post. Four months ago I was diagnosed with MS and three week s ago I got TM. A real rollercoaster of a ride, but, like you, most days are positive and I am very heppy to be in the state I¹m in, especially when compared to how much suffering others are going through. I still have a job I can mostly do. That¹s pretty good, I¹d say. So, I count my blessings, but some days are tougher than others. We¹re human and emote different ways depending on lots of things.
Thanks for sharing, Rob.
