MS, mindfulness and me, and being not busy
My husband had an annoying meeting a few days ago. He came back home frustrated. All the participants of the meeting were ‘very’ busy. It was an evening meeting and some of the participants complained that they didn’t even have dinner before the meeting.
I heard about the frustrations of B. and I had to laugh.

Having MS I cannot be busy.

The advantage of MS can be not being (too) busy. Next to that: practicing mindfulness I would like to ask the complaining participants in the meeting if they were hungry, here and now. But, don’t worry, I was no participator, not busy enough, having MS. And in this situation I am happy with the advantage of my illness.
