Tonight Is One of Those Nights...
or more accurately one of those mornings. I chose to sit outside on our back porch and just enjoy the early morning calm. The crickets are quiet and the breeze is crisp. Its a beautiful autumn night. Not a cloud in the sky. I don't do this very often, I have a 5 year old I have to home school in the morning. Six months ago I was diagnosed with a disease that changed my life and how I saw it. I realized that I didn't sit outside and enjoy the simple beauty of life as much as I should. Well tonight I embraced it. It's not important to me if there are dishes in the sink or that my car is running on fumes at the moment. In the long run it doesn't really matter to me. When I wake up I get to the see the smile of an angel through my daughter and know the love of a man that I have been with for eight years. The cute wiggly puppies aren't bad either. And I am here to soak it all in right now. So let them eat cake! :) This is great. Cant wait to welcome the new dawn. Hope all of you are having a good night. Thanks for listening. :)Just had to get this out of my system.

1. You have the right attitude, AM.

I really appreciate it. I strongly believe that through research Parkinson's Disease will have some wonderful advancements in the future. At least I hope so. Until then? I will just do what I can do and enjoy every last minute of it. :) Have a wonderful night. I hope life is treating you good as well.

Edit: Just to clarify my point. Its almost 4 am here. LOL

5. Life for me just took a definite uptick.
And I, like you, believe that research and treatment for Parkinson's WILL find some wonderful advancements. Take care, and enjoy those wonderful moments life offers. :hug:

2. I'm on my way to bed,
and I love doing so after reading your post. I send my wishes for strength with the health things :hug: and my thanks for painting such a picture of a beautiful night where you are. Sounds like you've got, as The Eagles sang it, a peaceful easy feeling.

Thanks very much for sharing this blissful night and your feelings of gratitude for life's true bounty.

Sweet O8) dreams!
