  • Laughter – Part 8

    One more day after today and you won’t have to put up with any more jokes…for a while! A man goes on photo safari to Africa and sees an elephant standing perfectly still, tears streaming down its face. He’s moved by the sight and approaches the elephant carefully. As he gets closer, he notices a…

    Are you getting tired of jokes yet? I hope not because we have a few more days. Besides, who doesn’t like a good joke? Let me rephrase that: Who doesn’t like a joke (emphasis on “good” being removed). I never promised the jokes would be good. Here’s today’s joke: A man goes to the doctor…

    Today’s joke in our Laughter series may sound familiar to those of us with Myasthenia Gravis or any other chronic or life-threatening condition. A man is hiking through the mountains when he suddenly slips and begins sliding off a steep cliff. As he’s falling, he manages to grab hold of a small branch protruding out…

    Keeping with our theme of laughter, I present today’s joke: A woman dies and goes to heaven. As she approaches the Pearly Gates, she sees St. Peter standing there waiting for her. When she nears him, he says, “Welcome to heaven. Before I can let you inside, I need you to spell a word.” “Which…

  • Laughter – For What Ails You

    I heard an interesting statistic today. I’m not sure if it’s scientifically proven, but it sounds about right. I heard the average 6 year old child laughs about 150 times a day, while the average 65 year old adult laughs an average of only 3 times a day. I wonder how much better we’d feel…

  • Clouds

    Let’s talk about clouds today. Sometimes I like to just lie in the grass and gaze up at them. Nearly every cloud is different. In some I can see shapes. It’s kind of fun to see if you can identify a famous person, a pet or even a unicorn in the clouds. You just have…

  • The Snowflake Disease – Revisited

    Greg Olsen

    in

    I haven’t spoken about how Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is called the “Snowflake Disease” in a while. It’s such a unique part of MG, I thought perhaps it was time to revisit for any new readers. One of the reasons MG is often left undiagnosed is because symptoms come and go. A person may be experiencing…

  • Emotions

    The other day I experienced an emotional moment that I didn’t know how to deal with. I didn’t handle it well. This happens to everyone at one time or another. Those of us with Myasthenia Gravis or other chronic condition are especially vulnerable to emotional outbreaks due to the fact that we’re already dealing with…

    Stephen Covey released his book “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” in 1989. As you would expect, the book describes the seven habits highly effective people use to make them more effective. The seven habits include: 1. Be Proactive, 2. Begin with the End in Mind, 3. Put First Things First, 4. Think Win/Win, 5.…

  • Finding Purpose

    The post reflects on the author’s teenage experiences with music, particularly admiring Alice Cooper despite not being a heavy metal fan. Alice Cooper’s complex image and struggles with drugs and alcohol are highlighted. His transformation and return to religious roots inspired the author, linking it to their purpose in raising awareness about Myasthenia Gravis and…
