IT'S BLOODY HARD WORK
High journal.
I learn someting new everyday, today I learned much about myself. How difficult and exhausting it can be, and most certainly is, to engage in a conversation with persons of a negative mind set.
Indeed I am now certain, I have not got what it takes, to be able to motivate or influence, a person as to a change, a positive change at that, of attitude.
I have spent time with some of my peers, pointing out that being negative, and worse still, doing nothing, in respect to our common conditon of Parknson's, impostor that it is, will most certainly guarrantee failure.
Dear me, I have found it exhausting tonight to do that, which I feel could be done, and yet increasingly I'm finding alas, that the safe option is the preferred option.
Sympathy, feeling sorry for one self, and hoping for a quick fix, will not delay the onset of symptoms let alone cure the conditon.
Maybe I'm getting old and too set in my ways, tonight after the conversations I had on chat I feel like a failure.
Yet I still think, feel and believe, the way to tackle Parkinson's, has got to be with a positive attitude, rather than with a losers negitive attitude.
I am feel exhausted and nonplussed with things that I have heard today.

PMA= Positive Mental Attitude. That\'s the only mind set there is to be able to take on any situation. If a person thinks they\'re beat, they\'ve already lost. I came to accept that some people are happy; Being unhappy, Kudos to you for trying. I personally take the positive way. Negative people literally suck the life out of you. I don\'t care to go through life that way. Have a great new year my friend. Brian
