Counting my blessings

melinda010100 in FreeCompliments • 8 months ago

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis almost 25 years ago, and as time has passed getting out and taking photos has become much more difficult. Different stages in life present you with brand new challenges and opportunities to learn new things

One good thing about my limited mobility is that I have much more time to spend on Ecency and that certainly has provided me with more learning opportunities than I could have ever imagined!

The other blessing is that I have a family filled with excellent photographers who keep our family albums full of wonderful photos for me to share here! They are always on the lookout for the things they know I will like and find useful for my posts. They have even become great shadow hunters and bird watchers!

Another blessing is that they keep in frequent contact throughout the day and I get to feel a part of everything they are doing! They took thousands of photos on their two week holiday in Mexico and I'm really looking forward to their early summer trip to Paris. It's been years since my last visit there and it will be fun to see it all again through their cameras.

All photos are from my family albums

Thanks, dear Olga. I am really very lucky to live in this age of technology and modern convinces that make it possible for me to live alone and stay in my own home.

You are a blessing to all of us fortunate enough to know you. I feel you are my special friend on Hive but I know you are that beautiful person that makes everyone feel that way. My hope is to face the challenges in my life as gracefully and bravely as you 😊

You are a special friend to me too... It's a crane operator-Clyde sort of thing, even though I'm not sure how that works... It's rather mystical!
Thanks always for your friendship and kind words. ❤️

I'm sorry to hear about the MS, that's a tough disease. My aunt had it as well, the limited mobility is the worst. It's true it gives you more time on Ecency though!

Those are some pretty flowers though. They don't grow around here that I'm aware of. Beautiful pictures you managed to capture before winter kicked in.

Keep up the good fight!

multiple scolersis rare chronic disease, my sister's husband of 34 years died because of MS, after taking second dose of covid vaccine, he diagnosed with MS, unfortunately he dead within 7 months as in India there is no treatment of MS. I have seen my uncle struggling with lots of pain and stiffness. I felt very bad after reading your life conditions, i can understand what you are actually suffering from.... seriously you are blessed with your lovely family.

Thanks. MS is much more common in the northern latitudes of the world. The man who lives rwo houses away from me has it, too. Hope someday they will determine what causes it, then maybe they will find a cure

It’s been collapsing for months. I’m not sure who runs it. It’s f u mean the same Task who Goethe’s that weekly podcast with John then I also say he’s good people, but with 80% plus the delegation leaving it’s not coming back unless that changes.

Well the month without updates it seems 90% of delegation pulled. And bad will is growing. A simple update would have been nice. People who bought this token are pissed. Understandably. Tribe tokens are centralized projects and can fail. But no update at all builds bad vibes from many. I don’t think it has a future after this
