Yes Peg, it makes a difference. It makes all the difference in the world. As long as we keep trudging forward, no matter how slow or how short the steps, we are making progress, and as long as we are making progress no effort is too small to make a difference. You can close your eyes every night knowing you have made a contribution and there are actual people whose lives are the better for it.

I think it is also important to remember everyone has trials to cope with. We we tend to blame Parkinson for all our problems but some problems would be there anyway. PD doesn't give us a bye for real life, it should, but it doesn't.

Chins up everyone. Nobody ever said it was going to be fair.
