A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down....

Today I am emitting positive vibes. Although I have not encountered it, I know that depression often occurs in PWP. Let's look at some positives for those PWP who are living under a shroud:

  • If the container says, shake well before using, we are able to obey and complete the task in record time, thereby reaping maximum benefits from the product.
  • If you want to learn to play the snare drum, you are halfway there with your stacatto hand.
  • Oh yeah, if you have a baby in the family and he needs burping, tell the mother that nobody can burb the child better than you.
  • Remember your youth when you would put your thumb over the opening of a bottle of pop, shake it up, and then spray your friend? Well now you can relive your youth and the spray will go twice as far as it did in the past.
  • You don't have to smile at stupid jokes. Just explain that while you saw the humor in the joke, it is quite impossible for you to smile. You can gather some sympathy by explaining...."You know - inability to smile is one of Parkinson's arsenal of weapons"
  • You are not dead, you only think you are. Some days anyway. Well perk up, your tremor reminds you that you are alive and trembling. The citizens without PD will never enjoy that gift. Just keep in mind "I tremble; therefor, I am."

Can you think of any others?
