Friends,
Have you checked out our website lately? Cal and Mike have been doing quite a bit with it. Check it out: http://msjustkeepmoving.org/ Thanks Cal and Mike!
A while back Linda and Wendy brought a horse to our group and everyone loved it.
Watch this video and see how many times you can see Linda in the video. Great job to Wendy, Linda and all their volunteers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQaS_WzdTfk&app=desktop Keep up the amazing work!
Last week Shaun told me a about a good movie to see. Today, Joyce texted me about a good movie to see. I thought, hmmmā¦maybe we should go see this good movie, so Bonnie and I went to see it tonight. They were both right, it was very good. Itās called āOvercomerā Hereās a link to the trailerā¦Iād highly recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx017m09RdE Thanks Shaun and Joyce for the recommendation!
Weāre having lots of fun with the trikes, hand cycles and road bikes on Friday mornings. Last Friday, we had more people on trikes than hand cycles or road bikes. Everyone in the picture lives with MS and are finding a way to get up early first of all and thenā¦ride. Amazing and Fun! Join us!
Letās ride again Friday morning @ 7:00am while we still have the weather for it. We meet at Nettesheim Park on the SE corner of Hwy SS and Oak Street in Pewaukee. If you would like to ride a tandem or a trike, please let me know ahead of time so we bring one for you. I hope youāll join us! We will not ride if itās raining.
We all need to āJust Keep Movingā! It doesnāt matter where we start. We can start with laughing which is great exercise in itself. Other than that, we start with the body parts that will move and keep moving them as much as we can. Let them rest and then move them again.
I know there are still many of us going through other life challenges in addition to our challenges with MS. Letās stick together, keep our chins up and keep sharing our journey. Better days are ahead. For those of you who havenāt been able to make it by us on Wednesdays and Fridays lately, please know you are missed and in my thoughts and prayers. I hope youāre able to make it back soon!
I hope youāll join us both Wednesday and Friday again this week. Rememberā¦consistency is key. With MS, it takes a lot of consistent effort every day to make small improvements. Yes, itās frustrating so be patient and consistent and youāll be amazed how your quality of life will continue to improve. Itās been about 17 years of exercising just about every day for me and Iām still making improvements (encouragement, love, support, nutrition and proper rest help immensely too). It takes time so please be patient. It sure is better than MS getting worse. I really donāt know what my life would be like if I didnāt do this (nor do I want to find out). Iām so thankful you are all joining me on this journey of making progress with our MS and quality of lifeā¦THANK YOU! Weāll continue to learn togetherā¦thereās so much power in the love and support we all share with each other.
In the past, Iāve been telling you to bring a friend. Unfortunately, weāre going to need to start a waiting list for new people. Please feel free to continue to share your experience and what weāre doing together. Let me know of anyone who would like to join us. Iāll communicate with these people through e-mail or phone and help them any way I can. When we have room for them to join us, Iāll encourage them to do that. If youāve joined us in the past, please continue to join us.
We are here to help you and anyone with MSā¦no strings attached (well maybe an occasional story about the progress youāre making, smile, high five or a hug). I remember how challenging life used to be when my MS was bad. I get great joy sharing what Iāve learned and feel blessed with the progress Iāve made. I hope you make progress in some way too!
