Thankfulness

Since my first blog post of my Parkinson's diagnosis, I have had so many people reach out to me in many different ways.  I am so thankful for my friends and family and all the prayers and encouragement I have received over the past few months.  From colleagues giving me a basket full of sunshine to brighten my day, cards and texts with encouraging words, Michael J Fox's first book, a Christmas Angel box of goodies, and many prayers, I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart.

A Basket Full of Sunshine  

As this disease slowly progresses, I am continually reminded that I am not the one in control of my body anymore but I AM in control of my attitude and how I deal with it.  This is a daily reminder I work on.  I have noticed my tremors increasing not only in my leg but now my hand and arm. Not always noticeable to others, but boy can I feel them. I am looking forward to meeting my new Neurologist next week. (my other one moved to warm sunny Florida)  It will be interesting to get her point of view and see what her recommendations are in my progress.

Again, thank you for your support and more importantly your prayers.
