What it Was, What it is

Hi All,
When I developed this website, I wanted to focus on how women work through transitions in their lives. I have been MIA because of a transition I’ve been experiencing.
I few months ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. This was in addition to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. And, just yesterday, Vertigo.
I would love to tell you that it has been a smooth transition. However, that would be a lie.
I’ve been angry, frustrated and impatient. I know that we are not our disease, but I’ve felt like each issue is written on a badge across my chest. I’ve loss so much independence. I can no longer drive-this has had the greatest impact. If it wasn’t for those grocery delivery sites, we would never eat.
I also need to use a walker or wheelchair when I go out. I wonder if I’m imagining all those sorrowful looks from others. Maybe it’s me projecting my own feelings.
But I’m also feeling grateful for the help, patience and understanding I’ve received from those closest to me.
I have good days and bad days. On those good days I do things that are important to me, like cooking a meal without help. But most important is that I write. That takes me to a place that gives me a feeling of satisfaction and joy.
I know many of my readers have had to face such transitions. My advice is to find a place that gives you joy in your life.
