I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in. ↗

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is. ↗
