Before I developed MS, before I worried about the state of the world, before I was aware of all the ways in which I am and always will be, a failure in life. It feels good to have all of that off my shoulders for awhile and just have periods of time when I play with the pretty bright colors,

I hope everyone here has a way of playing, something that makes them feel happy and free of cares.
