Saw this on a page I follow on Facebook. It is so challenging these days to try to do anything without so called ‘smart’ technology. When we were overseas we tried to buy a slice of cake and a coffee at the cafe of the Hotel we were staying in in Singapore. We were toldContinue reading “All things ‘smart’”

Parkinson’s and emotionality
I have started to watch a presentation today about Parkinson’s and emotions in the early years. I found that I could easily identify with the three people with the diagnosis who were on the panel. They talked about feelings of disbelief, denial and devastation. I know that I was expecting the diagnosis in many ways,Continue reading “Parkinson’s and emotionality”

OMG… I’m a grey haired Granny with a stick!
I will admit that I am feeling old for my years at the moment. The combo of Parkies and the offending lower limb issue – non Parkies related – is certainly making me feel my age and then some! I was at the supermarket today getting a few bits and pieces. I parked in theContinue reading “OMG… I’m a grey haired Granny with a stick!”
Doing it tough…
Things aren’t going swimmingly for me at the moment. Work is tough at the best of times, but the last two weeks have been particularly difficult. I have come home in tears more often than not and it’s not a nice feeling. I mostly think that I am handling life with Parkinson’s, arthritis, bad kneeContinue reading “Doing it tough…”

I am someone who loves words, loves reading and loves playing with words, whether it is in this Blog or writing poetry or just any other way I wish to express myself through words. I have always found words to be a powerful thing. The way we use our words can have the power toContinue reading “Should we ‘should?’”
What is a friend?
What is a friend? What makes one person a friend and another not? As someone who really does have few friends, I believe it is better to have a few quality friendships you can rely on than a broad network of friends who may disappear at the first signs of adversity. Family can be friends too.Continue reading “What is a friend?”
A helping hand…
All of us need a helping hand from time to time. Whether it is because something is too heavy and we need someone stronger to lift it for us, or because of physical limitations due to health conditions. Sometimes it is hard to admit that we can’t do everything ourselves and to ask for thatContinue reading “A helping hand…”
Like I’m gonna lose you….
Listening to this song while I was doing my exercises and thinking how true they are for any of us. It’s by Meaghan Trainor and featuring John Legend. ….Like a scene from a movie That every broken heart knows We were walking on moonlight And you pulled me close Split second and you disappeared AndContinue reading “Like I’m gonna lose you….”
In my happy place…
I have had my moments in the last few weeks or so, where I have very much been focussed on my knee and my pain and whether I will get the operation I need soon. However, there is one thing that makes me happy and that is writing poetry. Reading through some of my poetryContinue reading “In my happy place…”
