A PASSION THAT IS UNMATCHED.....

I have spent some time lately spinning my wheels. Be it depression or fatigue, who knows, but it is time for me to get over it and go back to what I love most and that is being with people who are associated with Parkinson's or have it. The truly best times in my life have been in the past three years after I decided to write my thoughts down and commit them to the Internet for all to read. I went full force for all that time and loved it but did not address the idea that sooner or later I would run out of steam and crash. Well I did just that in May and can say I have never been so tired in all my life BUT I have slept and regrouped my meds and visited many doctors. All in all it was the rest I needed most and next was the fact I was extremely over medicated. Once the fog cleared and I stopped sleeping way too many hours a day, things begin to shine again. I really believed my life was ending by God's will. If that was the case I was going to go along with it but needless to say he must have more plans for me. Daily offers pour in and help on how to get what I do write out to the general public.....I have always said that "Today With Pokie" was from my heart and "Coffee With Pokie" was for laughs and Journey to 2009 was commercial. I think that still applies but somehow I need to consolidate so a person can go to one place and find me not three or four......We will see what I come up with in the on coming months but needless to say I am doing well and back with a "PASSION" THAT IS UNMATCHED......see you later love Pokie

Confessions of a Happy Heart

While I have been recuperating and tying to loose my case of apathy I read one of the best books I have ever read and I am passing my thought on to you. The Shack Buy this book and read it and pass it on to a close friend or maybe an enemy you should make up with or someone who has had a profound loss and is not coping well. I have never read anything like this book. I started out thinking I could not read this...it was too depressing and all of a sudden it takes a turn and I could not lay the book down. I will not tell you anymore except I know you will love it and after reading it I hope you become part of the "Missy Project" and make it your project to spread this book far and wide. You may learn more at theshackbook.com. There is "Willie's Blog" and you can talk to the author, share your feeelings and discuss your feelings on the forum. Good luck and enjoy this new masterpiece...love pokie

Sure Have Missed Coffee

It has definitely been awhile and I have missed posing here. I have been in the battle of my life and then some for over two months now and it's not over. I started by getting so tired I could not sit up and my general practitioner decided a sonogram and MRI were in order which ended up heading me toward a D/C. This was fine with me but when I had the pre op testing, all sorts of things started showing up and I have been through specialist heaven ever since. Next week will be the worse with three major appointments and still no D/C. This lying around and constant extreme pain is not me and so hope to get to the bottom of this soon. Someone was very right when they mentioned "Old age is not for sissys" love pokie too
