Living
with Parkinson's for some years, I have noticeably slowed down in many areas of
my life. I walk painfully slowly, move slower, eat slower, talk slower and do
just about everything at a slower pace. My speedometer appears to be stuck on
"slow" and no amount of changing gears will make me faster.
As
a friend of mine said "Having Parkinson's, is like living in the slow
lane". I find it frustrating not being able to achieve or accomplish all
that I wish to in a day, but I have to adjust accordingly to my capabilities and
accept that this is where I'm at.
I
constantly try and focus on the things I can still do and enjoy, and
concentrate my energies on the things that matter most. I apologise for being
brief this morning, but even my typing now is slower and it takes me considerable
time writing my blog each day.
It is still dark outside as I sit writing this morning, and there is a chill in the air, so I think a nice cup of tea is in order. Have a good day wherever you may be, and stay warm.

You are admired, my friend. Please know that we love you, and love reading your messages, no matter how short. Take it easy, lean heavily on the One Who loves you and knows just what your're going through. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
ReplyDeleteElaine, your middle name is not Obstinate. You have the same middle name as me: Resilient!
