Friends,
My heart is hurting for Linda Lemm, her family and all of her friends including all of us. It’s always hard to lose a loved one. I’m thankful for the time we had with Linda. Let’s take what we learned from Linda forward with us like the love she shared, her endless smile, determination and gratitude. As challenging as MS was for Linda, she never complained. I know I learned a lot from Linda and will do my best to share what I’ve learned from her with others in honor of Linda. Rest in peace Linda and thank you for being you!
A huge thank you goes out to all who have made finacial donations to our MS-Just Keep Moving group. We are putting some of that money to good use with a massage chair that we’re hoping many people with MS will benefit from. The chair is at the gym already and will be available to use tomorrow morning. There will be a sign up sheet for it on the same board as Ricky’s sign up. Feel free to try it out.
Wendy continues to make progress and share her journey of living with MS with all of us. For as long as Wendy has been coming, she’s never been able to go on the inversion table without pain. Last Friday, she was able to get on it and stay on it quite a while without pain. She said it felt so good to decompress her spine on it. I’m so happy Wendy continues to make the progress she’s been making. Thanks for sharing your journey Wendy!
John is really determined to be able to master lifting his leg. He’s been working on going up and down the stairs for the past several months. He says it’s not getting easier but he’s doing it faster. He’s been doing it five times each time he comes. Friday, I watched him do it and he made it up and down the stairs “seven” times without taking a break. That’s amazing! Nice job John! Thanks for sharing your journey as well.
Last Tuesday, we had quite a bit of ice. I was pleased to see so many people come safely despite the ice. This week, we should have nice weather.
It was really nice out today so I decided to go for a fat bike ride out on the lake to see if anyone was catching any fish. It was good to see the fish were biting 😊. I just thought I’d share.
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 keep us all 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!

We made our Facebook page private now. That means you’ll need to join if you want access to all our fun and progress. Lots of people are doing more and more and sharing their journey on Facebook. Feel free to join. We’re up to 180 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 need consistency 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.
Linda will be here on Fridays doing Reiki for people. We’re thankful for Linda offering her gifts and talents to us. Feel free to let Linda know you’d like to do Reiki with her. She also has a sign up sheet.
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 have faith, remain calm, be flexible, help each other and learn as much as we can about the challenges of each day as we make good choices.
Let’s keep moving and smiling 😊
In God We Trust…we’re in good hands
