It’s funny I think when we look back on our previous lives and sometimes we remember events quite differently than when we were amongst it. Bear with me, as I try to explain. When I have reminisced with my children – now very much adults, my youngest turning 40 at the end of the yearContinue reading “Parent to child – Child to parent. When does it change?”

A Health Passport and other information…
One of the things about being a Social Worker, is that a good Social Worker is skilled at first getting information from a client or patient. This is important because the Social Worker can then ensure that they provide information and support in relation to that person’s individual needs and preferences. When a person isContinue reading “A Health Passport and other information…”
Some more thoughts about the fine line…
Well, yesterday I wrote a post called ‘there’s a fine line…’ and I have been thinking about how things went yesterday. Just reflecting on the game and perhaps trying to analyse why the other team played so much better than us. Of course, one reason is that they are known to be two of theContinue reading “Some more thoughts about the fine line…”
There’s a fine line…
I have never been what you might consider by any stretch of the imagination, to be athletic. I have never been particularly good at sports. The only two things that could be considered sporting pursuits that I have participated in have seen hockey – at school – and bowls. I did go to the gymContinue reading “There’s a fine line…”
Tough times and tough decisions…
I was reading a post that was on a Facebook page for people with Parkinson’s and their carers/family/supporters. It is a very useful page, because it gives different perspectives and often the discussions are really useful, those of us “experts” on Parkinson’s can share our experiences and help each other. You will note that IContinue reading “Tough times and tough decisions…”
It’s been a bit of an up and down week this week!
This week has certainly been a busy week, as bowls starts to really get going. This will be my first proper season, where I get to play in inter-club games. They are on a Wednesday morning and a Saturday morning and we are expected to put up our hand for both. Add on to thatContinue reading “It’s been a bit of an up and down week this week!”
Feeling lucky to have Parkinson’s
So today I was reminded to count my blessings. , The title of this podcast is Feeling Lucky to Have Parkinson’s, and that is, no doubt going to seem like a weird thing to, to say to actually celebrate having Parkinson’s. But I’ll tell you what happened today. So my husband and I decidedContinue reading “Feeling lucky to have Parkinson’s”
Presents vs Presence
So another year is over and a new year begins. Christmas is the season where we gather together with friends and loved ones, if we are lucky enough to have them, and often gifts are exchanged. Receiving a present is always fun, but sometimes we would wish for more of those we love to beContinue reading “Presents vs Presence”
Changing attitudes and priorities…
I have certainly lived a variety of wide and vivid lives over the years. I have morphed into various versions of myself, sometimes knowingly and willingly, sometimes moulded and controlled versions. The 18-20 year old young woman who married at 18 and had their first child at 20 started out – even though I hadContinue reading “Changing attitudes and priorities…”
Christmas just the two of us… and Christmas stress
Today is Boxing Day and we have come home from our night away and an amazing Christmas Day where the food was incredible. Best of all, no prep, no dishes, no tidying up, no pressure or stress. Christmas Eve, I commented several times that this was the most relaxed I have been my entire lifeContinue reading “Christmas just the two of us… and Christmas stress”
