IT'S IS UP TO YOU!

To get out of that slump and rid yourself of the Parkinson's blues

Look around and see the beauty of nature, it is up to you

Each day you are here on God's green earth

By watching the beauty of animals giving birth

Seeing a butterfly fly around a plant

Watching a mound being built by ants.

The beauty of Nature is for all to experience

Realize that nature is glorious and mysterious.

Have you ever dreamed of flying way up in the sky

Watching nature helps you enjoy life, so you don't cry.

Have you seen a falling star in the evening

and made a wish, it's a little bit like dreaming

It doesn't matter how old we are.

Each one of us is God's star!

Doing my Exercises

I decided to do something different today

Doing my morning exercises  

I stand in my archway

To make sure, I keep my balance

As I lift my weights, I am getting a callus

I continue to do different things

But I don't want it to be just a fling

I like to be challenged as long as I don't fall.

I just don't want it to be boring at all 

Exercise helps rid my body of being stiff

I feel better mentally, as well as physically fit

Fighting Parkinson's with all my grit.

This the reason, I will never quit

Believe

As long as I don't quit, I will continue to try and not give in.
I have the will-power to continue, that's the way it has always been.
I always try to wake up in a positive mood, feeling delighted
So many of us with Parkinson's disease, I feel we are all united.

I am only one, but we share the things only we understand
So together we are a team and we must take a stand
To believe we can do whatever is ahead
Our thoughts and wisdom, we can gradually spread

We can shout and spread good cheer
We can wipe each other's tears.
Our tender hearts, we really care
Knowing at times, it can be hard to bare.

We must never give in to any type of fear
Always remember, as a team someone will be here.
Just Believe!

An Incident at the mall

At times when I walk, I drag my leg or shuffle my feet
I hope I don't freeze, as I listen to music with a beat.
I was in the mall, shopping, moving at a slow pace
Sometimes, parkinson's shows it's ugly face

As I was looking at clothing, I began to loose my balance
I fell against the rack, causing loud noises, and then silence
I  felt some pain and opened my eyes to disbelief,
rows of clothes lay beside me and underneath

As I tried to get up, I was dizzy and was told "lay still",
I saw people staring, taking pictures as if I were a thrill
I closed my eyes and didn't move a wink
I was so embarrassed I didn't want to think.
After stating that I was alright
He helped me up and Oh what a site

As I got up, I heard the clapping of applause
People were not staring for a thrill at all
They let me know they cared after-all.

(This is fiction - but I wanted to share, sometimes I feel people staring at me

and I realize we should not make a quick judgement just because they stared).

I want to Inspire people

As you can see, there is a part of me
Wanting to inspire people with Parkinson's disease

We all have moments when we want to throw in the towel
Sometimes we feel like that, every once in a while
Thank goodness, we overcome those feelings and realize
We are fighters and will not give in or say our goodbyes.

Try filling your heart with love and laughter

We know a cure is being sought after

Every now and then write down good things that happen
I like to save them in a journal, to read when I am sadden
Each day I thank the Lord for giving me another day
I do my best to think positive thoughts, to keep those blues away

A New Year - A New Beginning

Having Parkinson's disease is a constant drain
With our daily stiffness, tremors and even pain
No one truly knows the pain you have inside
Somedays you feel like you could runaway and hide

Your life is worth living, so lets really try
Even if you feel like you want to die
Let's work together to build your self esteem
We can all share by working as a team.

Let's focus on our physical needs and social needs
Our physical needs, help with exercising indeed
Social needs, are being with family and friends
Enjoying the time, and laughter is a wonderful blend

So if you try to do little each and every day
Maybe some of your problems may fade away.
Please have a blessed day!
