Greetings my Friend,
As I write I have been waking up for several hours already. With Parkinson's I don't roll out of bed anymore and begin the day right away. I need time to take my medications, to wake up, for me that is in the Word of God, check out Facebook. This morning I took time to send out several GIFS to people who I am close to, kind of a wakeup, I am thinking of you expression of love. I made two phone calls about things we needed to be taken care of and I read the Word. The time in the Word for me begins with a bit of journaling first my thoughts then a prayer. It was during the journal time I took care of business and sent out my "I love you" texts. By the time I entered the Word I was focused on the lesson God was giving me. When I finished I went through Facebook again, when I updated my status I found myself grateful for looking at the beauty of flowers that came across my newsfeed, giggled at a few of the jokes, enjoyed some of the ways others reached out to help someone in need. I seek to find the beauty of life in anyway possible, it helps me start the day and keep the attitude of gratitude. Once I finish this I truly start to enter into my day, I pull meat of the freezer for dinner, snuggle on a few of our fur babies and enjoy the man God placed me with my husband Junior. My biggest desire is to be of use, to be productive so I enter into housework with joy. I seek to be active in order to keep my PD symptoms at bay, recently I learned if I am not on my feet enough during the day I will have spasms at night, I researched and found I could do standing leg lifts, I have done them twice now on days I was not able to be on my feet a lot and I did not have spasms at night, I slept comfortably as well. I often pray asking God to show me how to manage my PD then He places a thought in my mind that will help me or show me where to find the answer like on the internet. As I have learned to follow God's promptings I find myself being able to face my disease with strength and peace. God showed me to make a list of what I do each day which shows me I am productive. God is truly my hope and my peace. May God bless you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Janet
