STAY POSITIVE, by Jennifer Natali Hi everyone! I am here today to share my thoughts about MS with you. Oh, I see it in your faces - MS info! Overload! Hang tight - this is going to be fun! I’ll tell you first of all what I treasured, but MS savagely took away. MS first took my marriage, a wonderful life in Colorado, living in a log cabin, being a volunteer fire fighter and EMT, which was my dream job, and landed me back here in Florida.

I must say though that it has also given me so much back. I have met wonderful, understanding people, it has filled my heart with an unbelievable amount of love and gratitude - yes, gratitude. Well, that’s my story.

I have a few wise words to share with you:
• If you are newly diagnosed with MS - buckle up, hang on tight, it’s most likely going to be a bumpy ride the first year.
• Fight MS with pure positive energy.
• Don’t give up. Not ever!
• You have not died (even when you feel like you have).
• Find new ways to do the stuff you can’t do right now.
• Look around - someone has it worse than you. I’m sure of it.
• Stay strong!

Well, that’s about all I feel like pecking on this here computer. Be healthy. Be well. Stay POSITIVE!!!!!!!!
