Friends,
Last week was a long e-mail. You get quite a few pictures this week.
We had fun last week trying out the new equipment and helping people do what they can. It’s always fun to see someone do something they haven’t done for a long time. We had quite a few experiences of that last week. Thanks to all who helped our friends with MS who work so hard. Thanks to all our friends with MS for being determined, brave and courageous as you share your journey of “living” with MS by moving with us.
Just to share a few “moving” moments:
Ginger was enjoying our new Precor Elliptical
Susie challenged herself to take some steps on the parallel bars.
With a little help from some friends, Linda stood by the parallel bars.
Joe was getting wild and having fun while he stood with no hands. He kept us on our toes 😊
Rick always works hard with such determination and awesome attitude. He’s contagious!
Laura jumped right on the new treadmill with the new walking frame.
Even the birds were moving last week. I happened to catch this photo over the weekend. It’s good to see the birds eating and “moving” together.
COVID numbers are finally starting to come down locally. I feel like celebrating but not quite yet. We’re going to get through this thing…eventually. I’m still highly encouraging each of us to be socially responsible and help us all be safe. I’m not telling you what to do but I’m asking you and highly encouraging you to wear a mask when you’re in close proximity to someone else; whether you’ve been vaccinated or not. We want to remain open and we need to do it safely.
Please 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. Again…let’s be socially responsible and stay safe!
We’ll be getting together again from 9:00am – noon on Wednesday and Friday mornings at the gym. I hope you’ll join us!

Our Facebook page is getting pretty active. Lots of people are doing more and more and sharing their journey on Facebook. Feel free to join our Facebook community and share pictures and experiences of your own. We’re up to 169 members now…awesome! https://www.facebook.com/groups/2639832389489709
If you have Ricky work on you this week, please be sure to wear a mask. We have masks available if you need one. We don’t want Ricky to pick the virus up from one person and get sick much less take the risk of spreading it to others. Let’s keep Ricky safe as well as everyone else.
Many 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. Not only with Ricky…with exercise too. We needconsistency to realize the benefits long term. We want you to have long term relief.
Ricky has a sign up sheet based on first come first serve. 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.
MS-Just Keep Sharing. We’ll be having our sharing group in person 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’ll be having our inspirational humor zoom call with Adam again next Tuesday. Adam is a gift to all of us. Please join us if you can.

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.
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!
Dan
