After MS Taking so much away from me (Job, independence, being able to ride motorcycles, aspects of relationships etc) I often think about what I am grateful for. Being late onset (diagnosed at age 57) I have been lucky enough to be able to see my sons grow into men. I have not been paralysed from the neck down, a miracle considering the number of motorcycle accidents I had when younger, so have had time to get used to this new life with it's ongoing and developing changes. I am grateful for being able to sit outside in the sun, rain, wind, snow, whatever and 'just be'. I am grateful for the support and encouragement my wife and sons give to me, physically and emotionally. I am grateful for strangers who help me when i need it' like when i fall over or need mental health support as with this site. I am grateful to have (even small) things to look forward to - a coffee and chat with my sons, having time to just think, browsing the internet, watching entertaining programmes etc. I am grateful for life. When i retired i decided i would try to have 'projects' with actions and objectives to keep my mind occupied. Capturing moments on camera, whether it was a film camera, digital camera, stills or video i tried to document my life and those around me, family, friends, events etc. When my sons got to be 18, i gave each of them all the photos and video i had ever captured on ae external computer hard drive. Because my own childhood wasn't captured very well. The exception to that was 5,500 printed still photos which lay in packets of 24 or 36 with the negatives. Now i had time to scan them and digitize them, which i what i have done. M sons now have those memories too. I then put the photographs in albums. I also then carefully put the negatives in sleeves in albums too. Looking through these memories has been enormously enjoyable. Now to find my next project...
