My husband has fallen twice in the past couple of months which means that we have had more bad than good days. But today has been a good day. He got up feeling energetic and helped me prepare breakfast. I was able to take an hour and watch a CarePartner webinar and then we participated in a Rock Steady Boxing class together for an hour, something we’ve been missing for quite a while. He even felt good enough to go out and get a haircut and visit a coffee shop with me afterwards.

I wasn’t expecting a good day but am grateful we are having it. Even the weather seems to be cooperating, the sun is shining, and the temperature is well above average for this time of year. We’re probably about done with outside activities; the day has been somewhat busy for us, and I don’t want to push my luck. I am simply thankful for the opportunity we are having to revisit some of what life was like pre-Parkinson’s.

I know that I can’t base my expectations for tomorrow on what has happened today, I just need to be ready and willing to accept whatever comes. I will, however, strive to hold tight to the pleasure that today has brought to both of us. Like I said, it has indeed been a very good day.
