Good Morning World

I have so much to pull from today. I only hope I can do it justice and get the feelings and emotions that are parading around me across to you. The site is just jumping. The guys are writing poems about everything and exchanging phone numbers an we are off to NYC. Dixie will leave tomorrow by train and I will fly in Friday. I have lists posted everywhere as reminders to the coming event and there is one thing you might do to help us out. PRAY FOR SUNSHINE. The weather forecast came up 30% chance of rain and since we have 30 or more people wanting to eat lunch together were trying to put a picnic in the park on our schedule and get our food from the deli near by. W e have so much to say to each other and so little time to get it all done. I'm traveling with all the modern machinery to help me get and keep the word flowing. I know this is not the face of Parkinson's as most people see it but I assure you My disease is really fighting me this morning and I am determined that it will not win. My left arm will just barely move and when it does the pain is on the earthquake scale some where but I will get this done and love every moment of it.....Who came up with the idea that "Parkies" have to be totally sad all the time? Through interaction with my friends each day my mood is always better and I seem to be able to deal with the pain to a greater degree than ever before. I can no longer imagine what life would be like without them and hope to never have to find out. "when you do for someone else you forget your self" pokie I'll write more later and keep laughing ...it's so good for you
