This song has been in my head all day long and because it is 2:25 in the morning, it is Easter. Now I can post this song. I am so old because this was high school!:

I have figured out that one my soul is hurting, I listen to my U2 playlist. Bono’s voice calms me. I was going to post this song yesterday because it really resonated with me! I am playing solitaire and listening to U2 and I have heard this song two days in a row and both times, it completely spoke to me!!! #SimplePleasures:

Currently, it is NOT early morning but you know that I am singing this song in my head even as I am trying to wake up!!! 😍😍😍:

Today is Friday and watching Jesus Christ Superstar today reminded me of a picture I took 20 years ago. Actually, 23 years ago. I thought it was the AB rooms in the activities building of my high school gym but I think looking at the picture we were on a field trip (probably with Mr. Flint) because we were wearing our uniforms but I always had a camera on me, a disposable one!:

I thought of this picture because Mary Magdalene’s song today reminded me that I sang it for a musical audition but I didn’t even know all of the words! I guess I got the part but I don’t even know what musical it was! So this song hit me today!:

I really need to clean out my phone storage but I was able to find that picture but it wasn’t what I thought it was looking at it 23 years after taking it! I still sang this song at an audition! And, this song always makes me cry as it did today:

I have this song on my Apple Music playlist and I played it both days during, “Go time.” I finished playing it Thursday morning with tears streaming down my face but I needed to put my contacts in! This song gave me the strength that I needed:

Of course this song reminds me of our second apartment because that is where we were living when I bought the car that I currently own!

I was so hopeful back then! So much of my life has changed since then and I listen to this song and I can go back there when I hear it now! I really appreciate that because this song was my jam back before I really knew what to expect!!!

I was on Canadian crutches back then but soon to be transitioning to a manual wheelchair full-time and I was still driving. But now, 22+ years in, having MS is so much MORE than not being able to walk…

Tonight was a Barwis night for sure!!! My days training at Barwis were COMPLETELY in the forefront of my mind!!! Sean stopped by for dinner, he picked food up for him and my Mom and I had my usual gruel because that’s all I can eat now. The Count of Monte Cristo is on Hulu so we watched it. I thought of my days on the stander at Barwis when I was training with Adam. And this is my scene to get me through 10 minutes of standing on the stander:

My Mom laid down as I was playing the match game on my phone and listening to Carrie Underwood. That reminds me of our second apartment. When the Some Hearts album finished, Luke Bryan started playing and then that was followed by Sam Hunt. That Luke Bryan song used to remind me of Adam and Michael and I talked about that Sam Hunt song when I was training with him. It was completely nostalgia central tonight!: 😍😍😍

Training at Barwis was the happiest time of my life back when I was so hopeful to be walking…

Thinking about these past two days and how difficult they were, I need to do some re-calibration. I think it’s going to take me some time to sift through all of that but my abilities are changing and I no longer can do what I used to be able to do. I think I just need to segment my movements more.

Once I was finished and seated in my house, I realized how difficult it has become and I just sat there and cried for probably about a half hour as I was seated in my house alone because my Mom is taking the van back. Wednesday and Thursday I sounded kind of like Nicki Minaj and this song is in my head so I have to put it in here:

My mind is full and I’m not sure what to do about it. I do not need to think about leaving my house again until next month so I have some time to think about my much needed Recalibration and Segmentation.

My Mom is laying down and this song popped into my head and I had to post it here because I wanted to hear it. My cousin, Cheese, did not like this song at all! I loved it and I turned it up one notch and the time while she was sleeping in the passenger seat as I was driving us home on the way from Western and she said with her eyes closed, “I hear that!” Sorry, Cheese, I HAD to hear it again.

I posted this meme on Facebook:

And of course, I added the hashtag about March being MS awareness month to my post but there are two songs I think about when I think of kaleidoscopes and here they are in no particular order:

And I kept yelling for this song during the show but they did not play it:

And just because tomorrow is my birthday and today is her husband‘s birthday and her birthday was eight days ago, who are these kids and I love this picture!!!:
