This morning I opened the shutters of my bedroom to refresh the air; I could feel the warm breeze and see the blue sky. I smiled with joy. Even after being in Spain for a few months, I still get immense pleasure from this everyday.  

While residing in Ireland, most mornings when I opened the window I was greeted  by a cold blast and a grey view. I had to think - will I be able to get out for a walk today or will the rain keep me indoors? If the wind was too strong, exercising outside was not possible due to my balance issues. The climate in Ireland is tough for people with MS.
