The fields are aglow in the light of the bright sun after the passing weather front. Buds are forming on various trees in what may be a perilously early reaction to unseasonably warm weather in the last few weeks. This seemingly reactionary host to the resident called Parkinson’s disease appears to be as unpredictable as the weather embracing it. A solid night’s sleep may be followed by a stiff and shuffling gait or a restless night with an obsessive waking may result in feeling more energy for the errands and agenda planned the day before. Experience has proven that there are no easy predictors and best made plans have so far been executed even when challenged and resisted. In the warm inside glow of the bright afternoon sun this exercise tardy participant pauses to give thanks for the beauty of the day, the ability to think, and hear semi-howling wind that reminds him of who is in control today and always. Gratitude is the table upon which the feast of life is truly savored as we consume our portion and share with others!
