To Anyone Living with Scary Unknowns,

𝙏𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙪𝙣𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙨, 𝙄 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙄’𝙢 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤.

This is me before heading into my MRI today. Over the last 4 1/2 years this routine has held a lot of anxiety for me and some of that might never fully go away but I have also learned to make peace with unknowns.

I create a routine that focuses on not ignoring or judging my feelings, but also not making my feelings dictate my behaviors.

I can discern & choose gratefulness in the unknown.

I lean into self-care and I ask for help. And I am thankful for support.

I also believe and know that I can trust with every ounce of my being that nothing is unknown to God and that means I can be thankful in every outcome in any circumstance.

So while I’m praying for those sweet words to MS Warriors: “no new lesions” I’m sharing in the messy unknown today AND 𝙄’𝙢 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙮 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙩𝙤 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜.
