Sadly we know all too well the meaning of the phrase "Think what tomorrow might bring" and it sure ain`t going to be something that has us jumping up and down with joy.
But you know what? While ever I can still smile...while ever I can gush over banal things like doing the household chores,it keeps me in tune with normality.I still have that thread of hope and that feeds my grim determination.
Reflecting? I don`t like it. It brings into touch the harsh,cold reality of this s*** of an illness.And if I think too hard,analyse too deeply...I will curl up and admit defeat.
Sorry...just fell into this mode of thought....just wanted to share.

Like many people with PD, I have times where the symptoms aren't too bad and I feel that I could go back to work. The next day I feel like I've been hammered and am being punished because I had a good day.
So what do we do? I've learned to take this disease one day at a time. If I feel like taking on the world today, I do as much as I can while I can. I know that in the next hour, day, or week that PD will be back in control and my activities will be limited. I just don't worry about getting everything done at once. Tomorrow will be another day. Enjoy it while you have it.
