6th December 2019
This ebbiest of ebbs is still happening. Flow is beginning to return but it is taking way longer than I anticipated.
And I made myself a promise that I would honour how I feel, that I would not ‘force’ anything, that I would allow myself to recover before pushing on to doing what I used to.
I didn’t really think it would take months.
But I’m keeping my promise to myself.
In case you missed the back-story of this: I have MS and in the summer I had a relapse – the worst I’ve ever had. All my energy disappeared and for the past 4 months, I’ve been a part-time person.
That’s all I have the energy to be. My energy is returning, slowly. But it may be spring before I’m back to where I was before. Or even later – I’m trying to keep an open mind!
And as I said, I’m keeping my promise to myself to allow myself the convalescence my body needs.
Partly because I suspect that if I don’t do it right this time, I’ll get knocked flat again and have to go through this again.
It hasn’t been so much fun that I’m keen to repeat it!
So my apologies for being missing from the blog for so long. I hope you understand where I’m at, and I hope to be writing more in 2020.
In the meantime, I’d like to ask you: What promise do you want to make to yourself right now? And keep?

Hi Donna. Thank you. Good luck with your Donna’s Dreams come True non-profit – it sounds like a fabulous plan!

Hi Donna!
I hope you are feeling better. I can’t imagine how hard MS must be.
I found your website because I was thinking of creating a non-profit called Donna’s Dreams come True.
I have a website: Donna Writes About by Donna Behlke that will tell you more about me.
I like your website. I hope you feel better soon.
