Why MS is like Dancing in the Dark

MS is an incurable and unpredicatable disease. From one day to the next, I have no idea if my body will allow me to do the things I want to do with ease or with a fight to do the minimal. Truly, some days, it is mind over matter.

I liken MS with dancing in the dark because when one attempts to dance in the dark, mobility may be challenged, one might bump into objects in the path, and, of course, one’s hands, limbs, and bodies are moving in the shadows of life. If I keep this metaphor alive “dancing in the dark”, then I am just fine with my imperfect actions and states of being. When I stumble or drop a foot, only I witness it. Yet, the movement, any movement, keeps me feeling alive. In fact, it is fun sometimes not being able to predict each and every move. I am living in the moment and spontaneously.

So let’s keep positive and dance!
