Good life with MS?

MyMs Team question:
So we all know that MS sucks, but is there anything good that it brought into your life?

My answer:

I had been putting off activities I needed for Life, but when I got my dx, I said, I'd better do all I can do before I become too disabled to do anything!

So I had a decade of performing, directing, editing a newsletter... all at a Community Theater level instead of the professional level I'd been hoping for... but it was good.

Then, when Life changed (disability revved up, husband walked out), I had a decade of using new on-line skills (building web pages professionally, using on-line graphics programs...) while continuing musical activities in a different manner (teaching singing, organizing concerts to benefit the Accelerated Cure Projec for Multiple Sclerosis - see singtocurems.org for details), and building a new relationship with a lonely co-worker... and it was good.

Then Life changed again: They laid me off from my job, and my doctor pushed me into applying for Disability. This has been horribly painful... but I keep finding work to do and people who need and want me. So - I have hope: The next part of my life will also turn out to be good.
