Oh, the things you take for granted. Like walking, for example. I miss the way I used to walk. Before this latest MS exacerbation I had a nice, easy gait. Now I feel like I still have that Pregnant Waddle and walk real slow so as not to lose my balance. However, the key is I am still walking! So I need to appreciate that and not take it for granted.

Something else I take for granted: sleep. Trust me, I’m not getting much of it now with these newborn days and boy, do I miss it. I know it because last night I got 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep in a row, thanks to my amazing husband, and today I felt like a spring chicken. No kidding, all day long I’ve felt great! And when you get one good night of sleep after many many sleepless nights, you realize what a sweet thing it is. I have a new love affair with that fluffy down comforter.
