I feel a need to protect my Energy and enjoy life while I can

 I once watched Dr. William Tollefson giving a lecture years ago in Cocoa..about survival, energy, recovery, healing ... Years later I feel the need to grab onto my energy to enjoy  the years of life my Slow Progression with ALS is granting me... I have a beautiful family whom have filled my life and still do... but at my age.. and empty nest applies... Seniors go to the experience of facing an empty nest... I, on the other hand... experienced and empty nest in troubled waters... left the troubled waters and faced a different scenario..:. happy times and ALS...Time went by... life went on and suddenly out of the blue, lucky for me... life played tricks on me... made me enjoy life in a different way... what can I say... I'm faced in between ALS... happy times and empty nest... I'll be fine with an Empty nest because the birds flew to better places and grasped their own happiness... Happy times, oh  my oh my.. I'm facing it and I don't want to loose it.. ALS, no one can stop it... why drain my energy instead of saving energy..
