Janet, I think it’s okay for you to complain a bit . It’s your blog! You always call it your Therapy. In therapy you shouldn’t have to worry about your behavior and what you need to say.
The question is: what do you do about it?

Comment on Flip Flop Dilemma by Janet DiFolco

Thanks they used to be my favorite. Now I have issues with all backless shoes. a new full sandal with a nice little heal might be just the ticket.

For what it’s worth, I’ve never liked flip-flops—they are so bad for your feet. I say treat yourself to a cute, solid pair of sandals

No…coffee is good for people with MS! You’re supposed to drink three cups a day. And do BG12, not one of the shots!

Enjoy your coffee. From reading your posts I would say that you deserve it. As for your soul, perhaps with every third sip you can say thank you for something or someone, even if it’s just the cup of coffee you are holding. Be well!

Thank you for that. Our children also aren’t required to give anything up, but I really do believe that it is good to try. Like the old saying, you never really know what you have until you lose it. I’m sure it’s stated differently though.

Without addressing our doctrinal differences, be assured that Catholics are not required to give up anything for Lent. It’s a nice custom, but I don’t know how it was started. You are to be commended for attempting to give up coffee. However, it can be difficult to “withdraw” from something as simple as caffeine even in a non-substance abuse situation. Anyway, you are not a failure! (a parallel Church example: the laws for fasting and abstinence do not apply to genuine health problems due to age, sickness, specific dietary necessities, etc.)

I read this when it first came out (before the zombie craze) and remember thinking that there weren’t really that many zombies! And you’re right, I bet it was great for Elizabeth to kick him into the fireplace!

Hi Janet,

Loving your blog! Would like to speak with you about an opportunity to spread multiple sclerosis awareness. I work for a website called healthguru.com, we’re the #1 provider of online health video. Usually we make videos with doctors, but recently we’ve started making patient story videos. I’m currently looking for people with multiple sclerosis who would be willing to talk on camera about their treatment, lifestyle and more. It’s a great way to increase awareness and let people know what it’s really like to have MS.

We’ve done 2 series of videos like this recently– one with cancer survivors and one with people with RA. Here are examples for each:

Email me at christiana@healthguru.com if you’re interested.

Thanks,
Christiana
