BIG DAY SURFING
HI JOURNAL,
JUST IN TIME,
I FEEL IN CONTROL OF MY LEGS,
SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH TO TAKE PART IN THE PROCEEDINGS.
I'VE WORKED MY LEGS LIKE HELL THIS WEEK,
TO GET THEM WORKING.
LIKE I SAY,
THE HARDER PARKINSON'S COMES AT ME,
THE HARDER I GO AT IT.
THE HARD WORK HAS PAID OFF, I'VE RALLIED.
I ATTENDED YOGA CLASS THIS MORNING,
WITH NO ILL EFFECTS.
SO I AM WELL PREPARED AND READY FOR THE MORROW.
TOMORROW IS ONE OF THOSE,
EXTRA SPECIAL DAYS OF THE THE YEAR.
ON FOUR DAYS DAYS OF THE YEAR,
SPREAD OVER THE SUMMER,
AN EVENT TAKES PLACE WITH BRINGS,
GREAT PLEASURE, EXCITEMENT,
ENJOYMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT,
TOGETHER WITH A SENSE OF WELL BEING,
WHICH PROMOTES A BEAUTIFUL FEELGOOD FEELING,
IN PARTICIPANTS AND VOLUNTEERS,
ORGANIZERS, TEAM LEADERS AND MARSHALS ALIKE.
THIS WELL ORGANIZED EVENT,
WITH GREAT EMPATHISES ON SAFETY, IS
'SURFING FOR THE DISABLED'.
THERE WILL BE ABOUT TEN CLIENTS,
FROM MY DAY CENTRE,
ALONG WITH CARERS AND SUPERVISORS,
AS WELL AS MYSELF, A PARTY OF FIFTEEN,
TO ADD TO THE USUAL THREE HUNDRED OR SO,
WHO ATTEND AND ORGANISE THE EVENT.
SO, I WILL BE RISING EARLIER THAN USUAL,
FOR AN EARLY START.
FOR SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS,
IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME,
THEY HAVE EVER DONE THIS.
THEY WILL EXPERIENCE THAT WONDERFUL FEELING,
OF BREAKING DOWN, CRASHING THROUGH,
OVERCOMING AND REMOVING PERSONAL BARRIERS,
MAKING THEM FEEL LIKE,
THE WINNERS THEY MOST CERTAINLY ARE.
WHAT A FEELING.
SO TOO, FOR THE VOLUNTEERS ETC,
WHO HELP AND OBSERVE THE PEOPLE,
IN THEIR CHARGE, WITH A DUTY OF CARE.
THEY TOO HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT,
WATCHING AND BEING A PART OF ALL THIS.
THIS IS A WIN, WIN, WIN, THING.
THERE WILL BE NO LOSERS TOMORROW,
WE WILL ALL BE WINNERS,
FOR THE RIGHT REASON.
BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE DO,
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE.
I LOVE IT.
