Back in gear

What a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
We were 80 then dropped 40 degrees to freezing rain, sleet,ice and freezing fog.Today will be almost 70.
I have had an issue with coffee .I dropped a whole cup at John's school and decided to stick with oj (carton+ straw). Saturday the day of meeting my coffeemaker died atleast I got one cup even if it was a little groundy!
I got a new maker and that died so took that back .Now enjoying my coffee getting back to getting up and moving more as tired and weather didn't help.
Today I am going to rake some leaves and just enjoy being outside.

Even though I have been tired I still always try to be there for John and today he made me even a prouder MomMom as he was named a Proud Panther for the 3rd 6 weeks of school.
He won the award for Caring .
I have tried to teach him to care about everyone because that is what is right. John is only 9 and in the 4th grade youghest in his grade every year and in 2nd grade had the year end virtue of intuitive as he always seemed to know who to help and John always smiles although not always at me when rules are being enforced.
I hope all children learn that someone cares for them as there are way to many that don't feel that anyone cares.
ALWAYS remember there is someone worse off than you.

Today has been a puttering day a little of this and a little of that. Then football watching so figured I'd better get this done between games.
It really is a goal to write everyday.
With a movement disorder you have to be pro-active in everything that is happening to you.
From the child to a serviceman when muscles are involed your mind has to be there also.
You have to write down, take video's of the muscles spasming or whatever they are doing so you can show dr. You have to STUDY yourself so you can tell and show what is happening to you.

The weather has gotten a little warmer so I'm moving a little better.My body is tired hauling around my spasming left side but I still don't let it stop me just have to rest more and pace myself.
I have still been able to rake leaves and pineneedles and take to recycle place that makes them into mulch so I still stay outside as much as I can.
One week until community health fair and all looks good so far but I have to be careful that I don't get too wore out or the spasms will be real bad and don't need that.
I have a life that I am happy with and can live with .I learned along time ago to accept what has happened to me and that is why I'm still moving I won't let Dystonia win I WILL ONLY GO DOWN ON MY TERMS.

Stress

I have been quiet for awhile as I was dealing with new meds and with the holidays I was tired and knew taking it easy is the best for me.
After many years living with Dystonia I have learned stress is the greatest enemy to me so I have closed myself off. You learn to project yourself as you don't want to be hurt or put into a stressful situation.
With me coming out more about Dystonia I am also keeping closer to home so I can recharge, so that I can do what I need to with my family and Dystonia.
I have done really well with seeking simplicity and that means to me all non-vital things in my life are gone.
I had so much stuff that wasn't used, worn, watched, listened to, or looked at anymore. When all that was gone what a difference.
Only you can decide when stuff is no longer needed in your life and this might even include some people.
I learned along time ago that family and a few close friends is usually all that is there for you.
Take care
