Friends,

We’re not quite ready to get back together on Wednesday’s and Friday’s in person.  I did hear of another one of our MS Just Keep Moving friends with MS get COVID this past week.  She too is doing well with it…thankfully.  It’s still around so continue to do what you need to do to stay safe.  I know, it’s getting old.  We’ll be getting back together as soon as I feel it’s safe.  Hopefully it’ll be soon.

If you get COVID and have MS, if you don’t mind, please let me know about it.  I’m particularly interested in learning as much as I possibly can about MS and COVID together.  If we all share our journey, we can learn from each other and share what we learn.  What I’ve learned so far is that we’ve all got through it and went to the baseline we were at with our MS before we had COVID.  To me, that’s good to know.

Our National MS Society is working hard to get us reliable information about whether or not we should take the vaccine as it’s coming out.  Danelle, our Wisconsin chapter president sent this information the National MS Society just came out with on the vaccine.  Thanks for sharing Danelle!

 

From Danelle:
Good Morning –

We just updated our website to include this information on MS & the Covid vaccines and I wanted to make sure you knew about it.  Please share as appropriate, and let me know if you have questions.

 Have a great weekend!

Best,

We all know and love Adam, the love doctor.  We had another insprational humor zoom event with Adam today.  We all had some good laughs!  When COVID is getting you down, jump on the zoom call with Adam for a while.  You never know where the conversation’s going to go which makes it fun!  We didn’t have the technology glitches today.  It went well!  Thanks Adam for doing this!  Thanks to all who joined us!  I hope we see you again next week.  It’s nice to have something on our calendar where we can just get together and have some fun, even if we need to do it virtually for a while.  I hope you’ll join us again next week.

I’m confident Adam will shorten the winter up and get us through it with a smile on our faces.

 

Thanks to all who helped promote our candle wrap initiative and thanks to all who ordered them!  I asked you to get some feedback for us and you pulled through in a big way.  Thank you!  We already have requests for products for the military, cat  lovers, dog lovers, sunset scenes, up north cabin scenes, corporate events, etc.  We’ll be coming up with new designs regularly so be sure to subsribe to stay informed. https://candle-wraps.com/

A special thanks to all who placed orders!  We have our elves busy making them so you have them by Christmas.

We’re making extra so if anyone still wants any, feel free to place an order.  Again, thank you to all who helped promote them and who ordered them!  You’re going to love them…I know I sure am enjoying them.  They’re different and they add powerful messages in a much needed time.

When I was at the gym this past week, I was looking at all our pictures on the wall.  It made me sad to think we aren’t able to get together at this time.  Thank you to all who have kept in touch and let me know how you’re doing.  I still feel very connected to those who reach out and engage in our zoom meetings each week.  Just like exercise, consistency is key.  Consistency is also key for staying connected through these times.  I miss you all…let’s stay connected!

Last week, we had another amazing Zoom prayer group.  I just love the way we share, pray together and witness prayers being answered weekly.  Thanks goes to God and to everyone that joins us.  Again…amazing!

Our Zoom prayer group on Wednesday mornings are a great place to get together virtually, catch up a bit and give thanks.  Even though we can’t get together physically, it’s so nice to see all who joins us virtually.  It’s awesome seeing so many of you there laughing, listening, sharing, giving thanks and praying!

We’ll be doing it again tomorrow (Wednesday) @ 11:30am.  We’ll get together via zoom and share, talk, listen, give thanks, and pray in however God leads us.  It’s a way for all of us to get together virtually to catch up and be there for each other and with each other.  I hope you’ll join us!

I hope you’ll join us on Zoom!

My heart goes out to all the people and families of the people that have been affected by COVID-19.  This is really getting serious and close to home.  Whether actually having it, being exposed to it, being affected by businesses being shut down, losing your job, working on the front line, etc.  These are tough times and we really need to take it seriously and do our part of practicing social distancing and all other recommendations.  I hope you and your family are safe.  Let’s keep everyone affected in our prayers and pray we all get through this as safely as we can.

As we all go through this pandemic together, I encourage you to share a smile with someone.  Perhaps you could give someone a call that you haven’t talked with for a while just to see how they’re doing.  This pandemic is tough in many ways.  We all could use a little extra love and encouragement during these times.

Let’s be thankful for all the doctors, nurses and everyone in the health care that are putting themselves at risk every day and every night as they serve those with the Coronavirus.  These are amazing, selfless, courageous people!  Let’s also give thanks to all the people in the world that are working diligently to develop testing equipment and ways to treat this Coronavirus.  Let’s also give thanks for all the people that are working diligently to produce protective gear, respirators, and any other medical equipment to help us get through this pandemic.

We may be inconvenienced in many ways but others have it much worse.  Let’s be thankful we have each other.  I know I’m thankful for you!

Let’s stay calm, focused, healthy, flexible, have faith and learn as much as we can about the challenges of each day and make good choices.

See you soon…better days are ahead!
Dan
