strings of MS

©2012 Michelle V. Alkerton

One of those days with increased pain and jumbled sensations when MS controls me like a marionette. Grateful to Picnik for the tools to illustrate my discomfort with creative distraction. 

[Note to others who use this online tool. It will be closing on April 19, 2012, but until then the Premium features are free. Go WILD with creativity!!]

I've now linked this post to the March 25, 2012 IA Challenge - "dolls".

Stay inspired!

This is a clever and emotive piece to describe what I know can be horrid. I hope you get stronger quickly. It is so hard to get through some days but I, like you, find being creative can help. Thanks for your inspiration.

Hugs & Healing Wishes

Thanks Kat. I always hope for better moments, hours, days ;). I hate whining about the MonSter, but...
Stay inspired!

It is so inspiring that you are able to take a trial and turn it into such a positive thing. I've always loved marionettes and for the longest time have wanted to try and make one. Hopefully, one of these days.

It's easier to envision your debilitating pain now that I have seen this doll. What a create way to share your illness. Thank you for that!
