Overcast, but not gloomy, the landscape brightens slowly signaling the arrival of some cooler weather. An agenda waits as this day unfolds, but in the still of these early hours we calmly reflect upon those things for which we are thankful. Parkinson’s has taken its toll but it has not stolen the joy of life. Without the loss of some flexibility, I would have never known the freedom that agility brings. So much would have been taken for granted and there are times when I long to have all that for so long I did take for granted. Nevertheless, as the sun breaks through the morning sky so too arises the joyful reminder that right now, today, back pain has subsided, tremors have almost ceased, and this body feels rested. Another opportunity to discover what is possible in this gift called life has emerged in the dawning of this new day. Gratitude waters this soul as the fruit of thankfulness ripens in this ever bearing heart!
