Friends,
Merry Christmas! I love that we’ve been celebrating Jesus’s birthday for well over 2,000 years. Let’s give thanks and celebrate the true reason for the season. I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas and experience love and joy with your family and friends. Again, Merry Christmas!
We had an awesome gathering last week. Thank you to all who helped organize it, prepared and shared food, set the room up in a safe manner so we could get together safely, cleaned up afterwards, etc. Thank you also for all the kind words and gifts of financial donations to our group. You’re all so kind and generous! We will be using your contributions towards supporting our mission. Thank you so much!
Some have asked if we’ll be getting together this week with Christmas. The answer is yes, we’ll be getting together again from 9:00am – noon on Wednesday and Friday mornings at the gym. I hope you’ll join us!

We realize the Corona Virus is not gone yet. In fact, the numbers are very concerning again. Many of us have either had COVID or have been vaccinated or both. With the numbers going up, we have more people wearing masks again. Thank you for doing that! I’ve also had a couple people let me know that they’re not comfortable coming while the numbers are rising so rapidly. I can totally respect that. Let’s be sure to do our part to be safe.
At this time, we’re leaving wearing a mask up to you to make good choices although I’m highly encouraging it. If you have concerns, please wear a mask. Either way, please be respectful. Thank you for being so understanding, cooperative and respectful through this entire pandemic. Like MS, I wish we didn’t have to deal with it but it’s reality at this time. Let’s make the best of it.
One of the most important things you can do is to stay home if you have any symptoms or know you’ve been exposed to someone with the virus. Please don’t come until your symptoms go away. Let’s also give each other some space when talking to one another and continue wiping the machines down before and after you use them with disinfectant. Let’s stay safe!
Have you been to our Facebook page this past week?  We’re now up to 149 members. That’s another 5 more than last week. Our community continues to grow 😊. Have you joined yet? There are some fun pictures and comments out there. I’m not a Facebook person so contact Shelley if you have any questions. Here’s Shelley’s message about our Facebook Page.
We have a new Facebook page! Follow this link to check it out https://www.facebook.com/groups/2639832389489709 or you can search MS Just Keep Moving on Facebook. All are welcome to post and comment. Let’s keep things positive, upbeat and use this as another tool to stay connected and up to date. The page will be updated weekly with comments, pictures and updates. Feel free to tag the group with posts from your own page as well.Â
Ricky Heldt will be here on Wednesday and Friday again this week doing Tai Massage. Many of you continue making great progress with chronic pain relief, range of motion, walking better and a new sense of hope when Ricky does his magic to you. Please keep in mind that consistency is key. We need consistency to realize the benefits long term. That’s why we’re having Ricky here both Wednesday and Friday mornings. We want you to have long term relief. Ricky will have a sign up sheet based on first come first served. You can pick the time slot that works for you. I highly encourage you to take advantage of Ricky’s Tai Massages each day and sign up for your time slot as soon as you get there.
We will be having our prayer group in person again this Wednesday @ 11:00am.
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.
Let’s get together to share, listen, talk, give thanks and pray however God leads us.
We missed our inspirational humor call this afternoon with Adam. I wasn’t able to start it. I’m sorry about that! We’ll be doing it again next Tuesday. Please join us if you can…thank you!

I encourage you to share a smile with someone. Perhaps you could call someone that you haven’t talked with for a while just to say hi and see how they’re doing. We all could use a little extra love and encouragement during these times.
MS is tough. Let’s stay calm, focused, healthy, flexible, have faith and learn as much as we can about the challenges of each day as we make good choices. Better days are ahead.
In God We Trust!

P.S. One more sunset picture from last night. I thought I would put the little wooden cross in a tree to see what it would look like in a beautiful sunset. A little different…😊
