I was invited to be a guest speaker by a charitable
organisation: "Forgotten People's Fund" who raise money for families
in need. It is a wonderful organisation, run soley by dedicated volunteers, ensuring
that literally 99% of the proceeds raised actually go to the people in need. I
think this is admirable, and I wish them much success in their continued work. I
talked at their luncheon about "Living with chronic disease, whilst
maintaining a happy and positive attitude"! I was concerned about getting
my message across, which I hope I did. Having Parkinson's, I forget what I'm
saying, or simply can't remember a word, so I took along prompt cards (valued advice,
which I received from a seasoned public speaker). Life is short, so we might as
well make the most of it, and being happy, laughing and smiling are all vital in
making our days that much more enjoyable, especially when suffering chronic
disease. So although I'm very tired now from yesterday's events, I still have a
smile on my face, but I think today, I'll do nothing at all !!!
