The\nafternoon sun sheds a hazy glow over the dry and crusty fields. The cattle seem\nto know exactly where to graze, crunching down on the freshest and greenest of\nthe pasture. The humidity has diminished, but so has the over abundance of rain\nthat brought on the springtime. Fall is just a few days away and the hope of life-giving\nrain now wraps our vision for the season ahead. The cycle of the seasons to which\nwe’ve all become accustomed, wraps our projected vision for the days and\nweeks ahead. In a similar manner, we each take our abilities as normal\nexpectations in the journey of life. For some on this journey, the expectation of\nthe normal progression of life is met with an experience that interrupts or patently\ndis-ables that normal for which each of us seem to be preparing. There are\nany number of infections, infestations, accidents, diseases, or other\ninhibitors of life as we’ve come to know and expect it, and blatantly alter the\nprojected expectation with the potential for crashing into a maze of ab-normal\nlife experiences and challenges. Parkinson’s Disease has been the resounding\nprovider of an unconventional altar call, demanding (not inviting) that it’s\nhost permanently alter the way of engaging life’s process for which we were\nbeing otherwise adequately preparing. The normal rain that provides the\nnecessary fluid for life, (called dopamine in the neurological realm) has been\nand is continually being reduced and or destroyed in the brain of the one affected.\nConventional approaches have taken the route of attempting to replace and or\nreduce the diminution of the dopamine that has caused the stiffness, limps,\nshaking, anxiety, depression, lost voice, or any number of other effects\nresulting from the neural-depravity call Parkinson’s. The season has\nchanged. What was taken for granted can no loner be counted on today. Tomorrow\nmay be worse, or it may be better. Life will be different for the unprepared\nhost (no one prepares for this) of the altered season that has unexpectedly and\nuninvitedly come upon him or her. Each symptom and each effect often creates\nthe need for a new accommodation. I’ve learned that the best decoration for the\naccommodating suite is that coated with bright shades of gratitude accentuated\nin a deep base of thankfulness. Prepare for the new normal! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
