I can’t complain

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease on May 16th 2007. I had known for over a year that something was wrong but when I could no longer hide the symptoms I had to confess to my doctor.

I live in a unique situation, my room mate has cancer, two of my best friends have MS another has Hep. C. They dont let me whine and complain and are a source of strength. I only met them two years ago and it was like it was planned. They and myself see life for today and live your fullest. Become involved and do those things you can do. Worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes or you only cheat yourself and those around you. Life throws everyone curve balls at some point. You have two choices, to whine and give up or to live and smile. I chose to live :-)
