With winter (hopefully) over soon, I hope that the warmth and sunshine of spring will overwhelm you with happier feelings than the dark clouds of winter often bring.
If the sun is out but the cold air still prevents you from enjoying it, do as our pastor’s son did and climb in your car, park where the sun hits you and turn the heater to high. Now close your eyes and picture yourself at the beach. Maybe put on your sunglasses for effect. If that doesn’t work, make some popcorn and put ‘Endless Summer’ in your movie player and pretend you’re in the actual movie itself, which is all filmed at the beach. It’s a hilarious at-the-beach movie that will cheer you up.
On the main reason for this post:
Go to http://parkinsonsjourney.com/the-thing-about-doctors and leave a comment re: survey. I am very interested in your experience. My experience shared has got me thinking a lot of things…
Three other surveys, if you please, for my book in progress:
Survey #1 – Men vs. women: As a man (if you are a guy) or, as a woman (same rule applies [women]) – what is (are) your biggest fear(s) as a patient with PD or a chronic illness? (specific physical, non-physical, or both answers, please – can be anonymous or not).
Survey #2 – As a parent of a child witih PD or a chronic illness, how do you find support/encouragement/your coping mechanisms?
Survey #3 -Caregivers: What is the best way you have found to ‘cope’ – that isn’t the best word, but I think we all understand what I mean. This is for all who care for someone with ANY illness/disease.
Thanks to all who can help out in any way. You can leave your answers as a comment or send to sherriwoodbridge@hotmail.com.
