We bid 2012 farewell and look back on memories of fun times,
achievements we're proud of, the goals we've reached, remember fondly those
we've lost, and hope that the coming year will prove to be a better one for us
all. Maybe this will be the year of miracles - the year they find a cure for
Parkinson's. Now that would make it a very special year! Living life with no
regrets has always been part of who I am - and this past year has been an
amazing journey for my family and me. Living with Parkinson's is like participating
in some sort of endurance test or a course that my name was put down for
without prior knowledge. Through life experiences we all grow a little wiser,
and these are the principles that I take with me into 2013:
To accept
who you are and your circumstances without questioning "why me?"
To gain from
an unfortunate experience, to grow and become all you can.
To have
respect, empathy and understanding for all those around you.
To respect
yourself, and hold your head up high despite any failings.
To treat
others how you yourself would want to be treated.
I wish you all a Happy New Year, and let's hope that this coming year
will be a happy, healthy and peaceful one for us all.
Farewell to 2012 and welcome 2013!
OMG - what a start to the day you have given us today. Great blog and beautiful clip.
