Happiness Is A Decision.

I Don't Have Any Affirmations, I Don't Have Any Of That Stuff. My Natural State Is To Look At Things As Possibilities And As Opportunities.

A Lot Of Times, When You Have A Disability, One Of The Things You Deal With Is Other People's Projections Of What Your Experience Is And Their Fear About It, And Not Seeing The Experience You're Having. There's Nothing Horrifying About It To Me. It Is What I Deal With. It Is My Reality And My Life, But It's Not Horrible.

If I Don't Get Food In My Mouth, I'm Still Happy. If My Pants Are Round My Ankles, As Long As I Don't Get Arrested For Indecent Exposure, I'm Happy. I'm Worried About Keeping My Hair, Not How It's Combed.

You've Probably Read In People That I'm A Nice Guy - But When The Doctor First Told Me I Had Parkinson's, I Wanted To Kill Him.

In Fact, Parkinson's Has Made Me A Better Person. A Better Husband, Father And Overall Human Being.
