I often travel for work. The past 3 days I have been at a planning off-sight. It is the one time of the year that all of my peers are together. We are able to work during the day, but we are also able to bond in the evenings. The first evening we had a group activity of taking a painting class. This is NOT an area where I excel as is obvious by my painting. It really didn’t matter. Being able to laugh at myself and to laugh with friends was just what we needed.
The second evening was a night of dinner and dancing. Wow! It was a hot mess! I was out on the dance floor, dancing with strangers, and having the time of my life. I am sure to an outsider, they thought my dizziness was because I was drunk, not because of my MS. it was a great feeling knowing that I could stumble and not have to try to explain why.
I have never been a dancer. I have always been self conscious of the way I look. I tend to try to be a perfectionist and if I don’t do something well, then I just don’t do it. With MS I feel like I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop. I Have been cautious; just waiting to see what body part will shut down next. No more. I want to live life while my body is still allowing me to.
