Fighting Parkinson’s, and increasing your gratitude, part 2

When I wrote Fighting Parkinson’s, and increasing your gratitude last week, I was not anticipating a part 2. However, in coaching sessions this week, the conversations of increasing gratitude brought me to today’s blog post.

In my book, Fighting Parkinson’s…and Winning, the last section of Part Two of the book is entitled, “And then I found gratitude which helped me finish my full recovery.” It is on pages 113-121 in the book. It is a big focus on the soul healing contained in the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®.

In my recovery, I learned that the gift we are given is this life, and I became grateful for each day that I opened my eyes and had a new day to live, even in a temporary Parkinson’s body. I was grateful. I still give gratitude for my life, each and every day.

I found what I feel is a special video that will take no more than a 6-minute commitment from you to watch it, listen to the messages, and increase your gratitude.

Parkinson’s does not discriminate. It does not care what is your gender, your race, your color, your national origin, or your religion…no group is exempt. As a result, we have a worldwide community of diverse radiant souls coming together on this blog all working on Parkinson’s recovery. I am grateful for all of you.

Let’s be grateful for each day of this life and for each other!

Please post a comment below by copying and pasting these words. 

I am grateful for my life, and I am grateful for all of you!

I know my brain cells are alive. I know my dopamine reservoir is full. I know I am doing the Recipe, and I know my recovery from Parkinson’s is happening. I know that some day in the future, I will be having a full recovery from Parkinson’s. I know I am extraordinary. I know I am recovery. I KNOW I AM WINNING! AND, I KNOW I AM WORTH IT!!!

Each and every one of you is winning and you are worth it!!!

Have a joyous holiday season.

All my best,

Howard

Note: I am taking some time off for the holidays and my next blog post will be January 1, 2025.
