Strange to say, but ‘It’s not all about me’ this Blog is a part of the story of my life in my journey with Parkinson’s, but it is also about my family. With the weekend coming up, I had made plans to have my three grand-daughters to stay for the weekend. They are 13 yearContinue reading “It’s not all about me…”

Is it ‘PD’ or not ‘PD’?
This condition seems to come with a myriad of different symptoms and pain. It feels like every time I turn around something new hurts. I can’t seem to get a break from it and at times it can be quite demoralizing. About a month ago – maybe more – I started getting pain in theContinue reading “Is it ‘PD’ or not ‘PD’?”

Have I lost my poetry?
For years now, ever since I was 5 years old – when I wrote a poem that got read out on the radio – I have written some sort of poetry. They are usually the classic rhyming type, not like some modern poetry that often does not seem to. My poetry is often of theContinue reading “Have I lost my poetry?”
Learning to go easy on myself and knowing when to ask for help….
I feel I am ‘nesting’ a bit at the moment. Trying to do as much as I can around the house and yard to make it how we want it. To create a haven here in our new home. I have been water blasting and painting most of the weekend. The painting I have beenContinue reading “Learning to go easy on myself and knowing when to ask for help….”
Doing my bit…

Leaving a legacy…
In many ways, I find that many of my attitudes in life have changed significantly since my diagnosis. It is important to me to be able to create memories and provide my grand-children with experiences that they can learn from and enjoy. I have spoken before about Parkinson’s making me more focussed on spending timeContinue reading “Leaving a legacy…”
After…

Barely the day started and… it’s already six in the evening. Barely arrived on Monday and it’s already Friday. … and the monthContinue reading “After…”
Is it OK to be a bit selfish sometimes??
This journey I am on with Parkinson’s has many twists and turns and challenges. It has made me appreciate life more in many ways. As I have said in other posts previously, my family has become more important to me and spending time with them is high on my list of priorities. However, there areContinue reading “Is it OK to be a bit selfish sometimes??”
Acts of Service…
I came across this on another Blogger’s site. It reminds me of something my husband and I learned years ago from a Counsellor. It is a thing called ‘Acts of Service’. Acts of service, or perhaps my interpretation of it, is saying ‘I love you’ without saying it in words. While it is still lovelyContinue reading “Acts of Service…”
