Why am I blogging?

My daughter's smile is the lovely one you see above! I love to see people smile! Maybe that is why ...I like to capture smiles or snapshots of things that make others smile with my camera. I know we can't go through every minute of life with a smile but I hope that even when life is hard we can have a peace that others will notice and desire. My blog initially started as a way to honor my mom and her great outlook on life. She died in May 2010 from cancer. I don't think I can ever due justice to her life but I hope I can live my life in a way that would make her proud. The one other great privilege I have had is to be Carol Hensley Singletary's mother. She was our only child and she died suddenly on Feb .27, 2013. She was 19 years old. Her zest for life, her smile and her loving personna is missed by many, but none more than by her husband of just 6 months, Cooper. We carry on by grace and faith in God, and will look for any means to smile while we are left here on this earth for some reason by God. What I would give just to see the beautiful smile of my mom and daughter again! I know without a doubt I will someday, but until then I am going to try and praise my God and King in the life's good days and through life's pains. And i'm sharing here ...in hopes that you will smile with me. judy!

Ironies of Life and Parkinsons Disease-VIDEO entry

Some of what a reference in this video blog is from a friend's blog http://parkinsonsjourney.com/bittersweet-lessons/
Go ahead read it! Sherri is a great writer!

Now, on to the first...... Drum roll please......video blog entry by me! 

FairWARNING:  unedited, unpracticed entry,, gives new meaning to "what you see is what you get!", 
aren't you glad I don't do this all the time?  And my apologizes for the sniffles every now and then..I think 
I am getting a cold....

 and before anyone comments...I DO NOT HAVE AN ACCENT!!  everyone around here talks like this!  
And I have no intentions of becoming and kind of video guru...just trying to get some more people to 
understand what life with PD is about so that we can get the dag-gone illness CURED!!!!

I am a 50 year old woman living with Parkinson's disease, I have been diagnosed 10 years.  This 
video is made at a time when my medication has not gotten in my system well and I have extreme rigidity 
Of movement.

P.s. feel free to send me your own ironies of life!
