Over the years I've found that it's always best to find the silver lining, and to see the glass as half full.
Being afflicted with Parkinson's Disease makes it a little more difficult to retain an optimistic attitude, but there are a few positive things that I've noticed since my symptoms began.
Our little dog, Taz has figured out that when he lays on his back beside me on the easy chair or couch, he'll get twice the action and petting because of my left hand tremors than from my still steady right hand; so he always squirms in on my left side.
Our Sonic toothbrush died the other day, but I've found that between brushing with my left hand and my jaw tremors, I can almost equal sonic vibrations.
If I'm standing in a dark room and turn out the lights or close my eyes, I'd better be hanging on to something, because I'm about to take a trip and not leave the farm. Dizzying, but kind of fun!
Most importantly though, now I can blame P.D. for just about anything; whether it's something I forgot, (an anniversary or birthday,) or something that I completely messed up, (broken dishes, tracked up carpet, dented fender!)
It's nice to have a universal excuse!
