It is the day after Thanksgiving and I am very thankful not just for myself or my blog friends Mind of Mog or Tracey of Just A Blog but for all the others who live with the mystery that we do. There are approximately 400,000 Americans that acknowledge having Multiple Sclerosis, and every week about 200 people are diagnosed. Worldwide, MS may affect 2.5 million individuals and today we have some good news. Yes we do ! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Tysabri (natalizumab) as a new treatment for multiple sclerosis. I know this might not be of interest to you but it just might touch someone close to you or someone you know so if you would like to know more you can go here or here.

I am also very thankful for my friend Vinny of Insignificant Thoughts for his recent kindness and the great support so many showed him his recent MS Bike Ride. I made a small donation and supported Vinny but by no means did as much as I will next year for it touched me to the point of tears when I read his comment that he was doing this for a family member and two of his blogging friends and yes I was one of them. So today I can also say I am thankful to the many wonderful people I have met and call my friends in blogland some are more special than others but my heart is always open to new friends. Oh yes Life Is Simply Good.
