Meanings of the name CAROL

Today I found a little bookmarker that I had in a book at one time. It was titled Meaning of the name Carol.... it is from the Latin root of Charles and is a feminine form of Carl or Charles. And two other definitions are strong and womanly.  

Then it listens about 10 characteristics of the name Carol:

1. She will do nothing but her best, 

2.  Has dignity and all she does,

3. Has an appetite for life,

4. Takes time for others and herself,

5.Is respectful and loyal,

6. Likes to dazzle others,

7. A highly religious woman,

8.Gentle and shy,

9. The bigger the adventure , the better! 

Another set of definitions of the name Carol include the following:

Emotional spectrum "be happy" is the key ,

Personal Integrity: she will tell the truth even if it hurts,

Personality: optimism is the best word that would describe her,

Relationships: she gives you a lot but expect some back in return

Travel: unplanned trips are the most fun,

Career: she would make it in the movies because she is a 'natural'.

life/money: if there is a way to make money Carol is all for it.

This sounds more like Cooper. LOL

I think many of these descriptions fit my Carol very well (maybe we should get Cooper's take on this too)?

The only thing they forgot is has a BIG SMILE on her face, all the time!

Tribute to Enzo Simone

The man.Enzo and his famous point got me tickled

To:  Friends and Family of Enzo Simone

Date May 26, 2020/From:  Judy Hensley

About Enzo--what a guy!

I wanted to share why I think Enzo was one the most outstanding individuals I have ever met in my life. 

 The first time I read about the Regulars and Enzo, I knew he was someone I wanted to meet because he has some pretty crazy ideas of how to make people donate to help some of us 'sick' people.  He was not ashamed to ask you questions that made you think, like... “Remember when you were young and you thought anything was possible?”The secret is……...IT STILL IS!”  

  That was his hook line and sinker  quote that he used on me to commit to climb Mount  Washington.  I tried to tell him that I had PD and I sometimes could not move very well at all, and his comeback was “Don’t worry about a thing”., He said it would rival anything I had ever done up to that point in life, so I thought about it and told him I would do it, but not alone, So I had to convince my PD pal, Jeanette, to come along with me. If you know Jeanette (Jett) then you would know she is always full of excitement (and that is no lie!) Jett also has PD .
We were 2 out of 27 with PD or ALZ and some of their family and friends who climbed Mt Washington one day in the summer of 2010.. Enzo arranged for us to start closer to the top and he made sure we all made it to the summit. He allowed a group of PD and ALZ patients, friends and family to believe in something bigger than themselves!.  Jeanette and I can both now see with clarity how important this project came to be in our lives, and what a great time we had!! We were so proud of ourselves when we got back to our routine life of PD.  Now we had something grand to tell our grandkids!  
In the 10M10Y movie, Enzo reminds us about something important in life--dreams. He said   “Dreams fuel imagination, imagination creates hope, hope becomes drive” so go ahead and Dream BIG!   
One of my favorite parts of the 10M10Y movie is at the end when Enzo speaks of why his adventures are so important to him, in the present and in the future.  He says that even if he is not able to tell his grandchildren or speak to them of things that happened in his life, he thinks it is important to leave written words and pictures to show them what he and his forces of determination and resolve have done. And I think many will continue to document in words and pictures for any and all to read and see with a new understanding that “ANYTHING is possible and TO NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER.” 

For E’s family and friends, I hope you will treasure all the wonderful memories so many have of him as the motivator, the encourager, the challenger and the warrior that he was known to  be to  many that live with Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer's disease.  Chadd, I hope you grow up and embody your dad’s most admirable qualities. You will surely know what a wonderful person your dad was and how he motivated  people and what a free spirit he was, and why he was a  man who cared deeply about people around him.  Not only did Enzo Simone lead an ARMY of CHANGE but he was  always looking for recruits to make their mark in an  Army of Hope who take great  leaps of faith to understand that we are all  born to end  Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Thank you Enzo for sharing your adventures with all of us and for promoting the attitude of positivity and comradery!  I will miss you but will never forget you.  Your ARMY of Change will carry on and do great things in your honor.  May your Army always be strong . and remind us  to DREAM BIG and to realize what we were born to do -end these illnesses. I am praying for God’s great peace and love to surround your family and  friends during this time.

  RIP Enzo, Thank you for the incredible memories of a mountain in New Hampshire your kind words and the way you made us think,
“IN-10-city” Hensley, aka Judy in Tennessee, a Parkinson’s patient.

The Virus..it's on my mind so it is in my blog today.....

I'm not a happy camper.  I don't like the corono virus and what is has done to my life.  I haven't lost anyone to the virus but have a relative in the front lines battle with it.  I also know of a couple of families it is affecting.

And I don't know who to be mad at for making it.  I want someone to be mad at, because this  is not going to be pretty when we come out the other side of this chaos.  It is ugly right now.  Ir is a very contagious virus that  is flooding our world, and if we had not put in place some restrictions when this country did,  it would be spreading and growing like a like wildfire here in the USA.  

Some have reckoned our fight against the spread of this virus as a war.  I can believe we are at war.  And we are in this together....and that includes the whole world. We are at war with a deadly human enemy with no gun,  it does not resemble us, nor does it discriminate.  It will hop on our backs without being seen, and pick us off one by one. But it has found the wrong group of people to pick on when it picked the United States of America.

People in the USA  know about this virus stuff, people in the USA know how to make cars and turn plants around to make respirators, people in the USA  normally fight with guns, ships, and big bombs, and people in the USA who know how to "get it done" are kickin this smart #@s virus out the door and gonna stomp it out!

But that is just the beginning. After the virus has been defeated, there will need to be a reclaiming of our lives and many will have to  realize life as we knew it  will never be the same.....but it will be our lives.Who knows how long this phase will last but it will require patience and guidance.  The next reclaiming phase will be to reclaim our countries, our economies, our trust in one another, and our spirit of mercy and love, and our desire to be truthful among all nations.  

And the last phase of this battle will be to reclaim the hope of our hearts and tor let every soul know that they are special in the good days and  bad.   And we need to  bow our knee to the Creator of this great earth on which we live, and ask Him to give us another chance.  But we have to be willing to learn from this chaos and remind our children of how we have changed.  It will be up to them to determine if the change has been for the better of our world or not. 

In this year of 2020, it will be up to us to let those who follow us decide if the vision we implemented was clearly a good one or a blurry one at best.  I was raised to know Gods love for us and his forgiveness, and his faithfulness.  so I am going to put my faith and trust in Him.  He has been here since the beginning and will be here until the end

Dear LORD, I don't like this 'social distancing' .  You know i am a social person.  I feel cooped up and can relate some to Noah and being on the ark for 40 days and night!  IT seems everyone is focused on the TV Watching TV is fun for some, but not so much for me.  Show  me where I can be your light in this world.  And please  give an over=abundance of wisdom to those in authority.Let me be bold and courageous in the days ahead.  And help us to give you all the thanks for everything you do for us!  Amen
