One of the keys to getting better is to keep a good attitude, towards yourself, others and life in general. MC isn't the end of the world for most of us, but it sure does alter it. It's an emotional rollercoaster, at times humiliating, frustrating, painfull physically and emotionally. Keeping yourself balanced is difficult at best, and sometimes downright impossible. I have to remind myself everyday that the sun that goes down today will rise up again tomorrow. I take lots of photo's, I always have a camera with me, I know I drive my wife and everyone else crazy "stop the car" or "I want to go by here", and "this will only take a second". Pictures capture a moment in time, a place, a sight, a rearview look at where we've been or what we have seen. Just yesterday I got into a discussion about the existence of a higher being, this friend said he wanted proof. So I emailed him some proof...here it is.
Just remind yourself each day of all the great and good things around you, allow that positive energy to work alongside of your medication and diet. Believe you will get better, the sun that sets tonight will bring you a brand new day tomorrow.
I wish you all the best!
Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Thank you Dan for sharing your beautiful pictures. The beauties of nature are always very comforting to me and inspiring. They help bring a calm to me that I need. JoAnn

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." -- Buddha
They're in the first post in this thread. If you can't see them, your IT department probably has your computer set to not automatically display images, (since not only do images use up bandwidth, but images can also be used to transmit trojans and other malware). IOW, embedded images are blocked on your computer.
You should see 5 vertically-aligned icons, (squares), just above the signature line in that post. You might be able to view the images by right clicking on the icons, (individually), and selecting the "View Image" option from the context menu that opens. If that doesn't work, then they definitely don't want you viewing any images on sites such as this.
